Q3, still a while...
Why MSI, though? Am I missing something?

3DMark has always included in-bench advertisements. MSI would have paid them money to do it. It's not a major deal really.
Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.
Rule 1A:
Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.
Rule 2:
When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.
Rule 2A:
When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.
Rule 3:
When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.
Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!
Random Tip o' the Whatever
You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.
You can see Sapphire logo in 3DMark Vantage.

what about pcmvantage? any word on another release of that?

I hope it doesn't look like it came from 2001 all the while bringing a 480 or 5970 to its knees this time
INTEL Core i7 920 // ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 // OCZ 3G1600 6GB // POWERCOLOR HD5970 // Cooler Master HAF 932 // Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme // SAMSUNG T260 26"Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
that bench scene looks way dark... i really hope it looks better than vantage :/
theres unigine and then theres the cave gnome golem whatever benchmark... futuremark is way way late to the party, and those screenshots look far from impressive :/
man, i really dont get what takes them that long and why their benchmarks seem to look worse and worse compared to games...
2k1 was really awesome compared to the games at its time, 2k3 was meh, 2k5 was meh, 2k6 was 2k5 with higher settings which was ridiculous imo, and vantage... dont get me started on vantage... a game that takes more time to load than to run HAH
i really like the guys at futuremark, so nice people...
but since 2k3 i havent really been impressed by their benchmarks :/
and worst yet, their system detection and orb is ridiculous...

Don't care what it looks like so long as it does that second bit well

I think it is safe to assume the new 3DMark will be nothing more than another unpolished turd that will run at 10fps and look like some DX7 PoS demo.
IMO they arent meant to look good, they are meant to stress your system and give you a score!that bench scene looks way dark... i really hope it looks better than vantage :/

Stressing a system is useful only if it is because it produces groundbreaking graphics. GTA4 can bring any comp to its knees but it's not a reliable benchmark.

It's a pity that Unigine has no interest in securing their benchmarks to create like a Futuremark counterpart. Their 3D scenes look amazing ... I really wanted that one included on the bot
Where courage, motivation and ignorance meet, a persistent idiot awakens.
says who? 01 and 03 nature scenes are devastating look like crap and I love it. Some people run benchmarks because they are pretty though I guess.
Uh? The Nature demos were jaw dropping at the time when most of games were using flat trees without windy leaves, flat ground without grass, no pixel shaded water...
I can still remember how the music explodes into the scene out of the sun flare with all the vegetation. And it still looks damn awesome compared to many games released even these days...

01, 03 nature tests wasnt crap. they were very nice for their time.
When i'm being paid i always do my job through.
hows 03 nature compare to crysis and FC2? i think with just some color changes and newer dx9+ effects its really just a matter of quantity of trees
LOL. Go MSI !!!

Thanks Sampsa for the newz
Ah the first time I noticed the logo I was wondering if 3DMark Vantage was intelligent enough to read vendor-specific information about the graphics cards!
That would have been a fun trick to include
Main Rig: Phenom II X6 1055T 95W @3562 (285x12.5) MHz, Corsair XMS2 DDR2 (2x2GB), Gigabyte HD7970 OC (1000 MHz) 3GB, ASUS M3A78-EM,
Corsair F60 60 GB SSD + various HDDs, Corsair HX650 (3.3V/20A, 5V/20A, 12V/54A), Antec P180 Mini
Notebook: HP ProBook 6465b w/ A6-3410MX and 8GB DDR3 1600
It's plenty for vendors to have the exposure they getting for supporting developers.
At least in this case.
if vendor support reduces the cost, im all for it
So, with Crysis 2 we will have at least two decent benchmarks, before the end of the year!
