3DMARK06 beta

http://www.hkepc.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=503391

wonder if it will be multithreaded............looks like shader model 3.0 was added

GUYS you should use yahoo babefish to translate the jiberish from simple chinese to english :toast:

TRANSLATION....well sort of..........looks like my X800 SM2.0 will get pounded here :(

I LOVE new 3D benchies!!!
MMmmmmmm...

wow to both...

It was stated before that it will be multi-threading but that most of the work (including vertex stuff the cpu usually does) will be done by the gpu so that the cpu wont effect the results much.

Wow new screen shot looks lovely :)

Ooh can't wait til its released sometime next year probably.

wow at the second pic. that snow looks absolutely beautiful.

"Futuremark has started talking about their next 3DMark publicly over at Beyond3D interview. The key feature and effect present in 3DMark2006 are Shader Model 3.0 support and HDR implementation that requires full SM3.0 support and FP16 textures & blending. Others cool implementations and changes include CSM (Cascaded Shadow Maps), soft shadows, heavier pixel processing load, increased arithmetic to texture ops ratio for the SM3.0 tests, at least 256MB of graphics memory to ensure no disk swapping, a new CPU test (most probably multi-core support).

According to our friends from HKEPC, some manufacturers have received a copy of 3DMark2006 Beta for internal testing but there is no scoring function yet in the beta copy for confidential reasons. There is particular game test in 3DMark06 which is similar to the Game Test 3 "Canyon Flight" of 3DMark05 but now it utilizes lots of HDR and SM3.0. Certainly the sea monster looks a lot better indeed from what we have seen. Things are not looking too rosy for ATi previous generation cards such as X300/500/600/700/800 that don't support SM 3.0 but it is fine for NVIDIA GeForce 6 series."

i know someone here is on the FM beta list. not sure if they got it yet tho?

will 06 support 64bit or just 32?

Will 850XT suX at this bench?

Will this be like 01 becuase otherwise there is no point just another boring 3dmark that gives them an excuse to dump 01.

what i really want to see is this bench ran on a p4 with and without ht enabled... wonder if it will help?

Or you get a program and monitor CPU usage during the tests.

Both screens look fantastic, I think. Will be looking forward for a release of this new version!

lol but it looks so stunning

just got my X800GTO.......time to get 7800GTX ^^
looks great but I have problems getting 05 running >25FPS in some scenes...
3D Mark is always the Nr.1 reason to buy a new GPU - it looks sooo sweet.
I will never forget seeing the nature scene in 01 SE the first time with my Ti4400@4600...was worth the 320€ :D

Looks sweet, might be a slide show on my machine but at least it will be a pretty one :D
Glad i went with the 6800 now, gd ole SM3 :)

hmmm i really love the first one, but the second one looks not that good.
the snow and the objects have a big contrast to each other... it looks like the buildings and objects are on a foil that is laid over the snow landscape...

i was thinking the same thing man.

Agreed....with the sun that low, there should be a lot more radiosity off of the snow to the point where it's blinding and decontrasts the other objects and the blue sky in overbrightness.

Anyway, good to know there will be something out there that my GTX can't deliver playable framerates with :lol:

great! sounds like ill be ok with my puny GTX 256mb :banana:

and that sounds like only the cpu-test will support dual cores - but not the game tests
which would suck imo

The Antarctic camp scene (second pic) looks like each particle of snow has its own polygons...not to mention the realism in the second one is just awe-inspiring...

A little surprise at the name though...

3dmark2001 + 2 = 3dmark2003 + 2 = 3dmark2005 + 1? = 3dmark06 ???

There trying to increase profit margins maybe speeding it up by releasing newer versions of the software.

As much as it'd be cool if each snow sub-pixel were a particle....just think about HOW MANY PARTICLES THAT IS!!!! Might as well be a fluid at that point, CPUs can't handle it and PPU/GPUs would just about pass-out from dealing with it as well.

Anyway, I must say that I'm not so worried about the name as it is coming out either late THIS year or early next year, way before 07 should be considered, IMO.

Anyway, 05's CPU tests support dual-cores, so that wouldn't be anything new--I also hope that the actual game tests benefit from dual cores.

Do you guys know if its just gonna be another 3d card tester, or if it actually IS gonna be an all-out system bench like 01?

I would love a 3D bench that is as fun to tweak as 01! :D
