3DMark 11
the 11 is about DirectX 11 not the year as previous 3DMark ;)
Can you say James Cameron's The Abyss
Still...it is about time futuremark puts out a new benchmark. That's just a teaser too, beats the crap out of the Jane Nash test!
the scene looks boring imo... too dark, and the same rocky surfaces they were so proud of in 2k3, and then 2k5 and then 2k6 and then event horizon... yes they look good but PLEASE can we have something new after 8 years? is that really asking for too much?
and it looks more like an msi advertisement or tech demo than a benchmark :shrug:
My point is they better have something funny in the benchmark in the end ;)
Love how some of you are commenting on it without reading the OP's post.
This is just a tech demo. It's not going to be a test in the final benchmark and wont be released to the public ( supposedly )
Seriously.. just be glad it looks somewhat better than the pathetic jane nash bench in vantage.
Tessellation + DOF in that demo
I hope Futuremark's coders aren't culturally or genetically linked to Metro 2033's coders :D
great news indeed :up:
and especially because we didn't have any 3DMARK 07 / 08/ 09 /10
But vantage and now 11 ;) Guess what will be next one ? Reloaded ? :D
DoF in metro is quite advanced. eventually DoF will cost very little to turn it on and it will be a normal feature. you can read about it here
