What effect will this have?

As far as i can see, the '01 ORB is still up. So what's actually been discontinued, just distribution of '01?

Sorry dumb question, is not the cpu only test on 3dmark05/06 a good cpu/memory test? I know when I pushed my oc to the max, I would blow in the 05 cpu test - had a bottom line 6600gt

I hope one day the futuremark developers will notice that their product are not just game-benchmarks.

If they made a benchmark with dx7, dx8 and dx9 game tests, also the older gpu's will be able to run it.

Being able to adjust the gpu clocks each test seperatly and use different run orders is the most fun part of 3dm01. Too bad futuremark doesn't realise this

Where at futuremark site says that 3dmark01 is now official discontinued?????????????????I can't find nothing...

**~~GoThr3k~~** · 05-21-2006, 02:17 AM

On the download page it lists 01 under the Discontinued products.

**funkflix** · 05-21-2006, 10:27 AM

Hope they will continue it on the ORB for a while!

**Moonman** · 05-21-2006, 10:42 AM

I also hope that they will keep ORB for 2k1.

It's my favourite 3d mark.

**HousERaT** · 05-21-2006, 11:01 AM

I also hope they keep the ORB active for 2001SE. My best bench by far, how will I survive without it?

**Viss** · 05-22-2006, 05:43 AM

The following products are no longer supported by Futuremark. You can still download and run them, but the on-line services and support are no longer available.

Hope that doesnt include the ORB (which wouldnt make sense because its stil on obviously). Best 3Dmark by far imho.

**SoF** · 05-23-2006, 11:35 AM

The real end I see - the 100k barrier...this would be a worthy official end.

But I will never stop benching 2001 until the hardware and drivers allowing it

**Gamer** · 05-23-2006, 11:45 AM

3D01 was the first test I ever did

vote +1 for maintaining the ORB !!

**Sneaky** · 05-23-2006, 11:57 AM

even if they remove 2k1 from ORB, it will still be ran, and it won't be over until we hit 100,000 on 3D Mark 2001

About dam time.

3D benchies are supposed to be close to representing games, and stress your GPU. People with GPU's 2 generations older than mine can whoop my ass, yet who has the better 3d platform?

**NickS** · 05-24-2006, 03:34 AM

If they stop the ORB people will come up with a different site to submit results or something.. there is so much support for 3D01 from the benchers and overclockers, and the whole OC'ing community, it's crazy.

anyone with a big pocketbook can take 05/6

in order to tweak for 01, you need skills, it seperates the noobs from the knowleged
