Next Generation 3DMark Named, Detailed

Next Generation 3DMark Named, Detailed
Futuremark is readying the next generation of its popular 3D graphics benchmark, the 3DMark. The new version will be called 3DMark 11 (probably named after the year 2011 or DirectX 11), and will strive to be every present-generation GPU's worst nightmare (stress test). With NVIDIA's entry into the DirectX 11 generation of graphics following ATI making the new GPUs "current", 3DMark 11 will focus on the GPUs' DirectX 11 capabilities, probably exploiting new texturing and hardware tessellation features.

The benchmark will be able to push present and future GPUs to their maximum capabilities. At least one of its game tests have been known to be called "Undersea Submarine". There is no mention of NVIDIA PhysX, so it's safe to assume that the benchmark will use industry standard features which are available to all DirectX 11 generation GPUs. However, similar to a marketing deal with Sapphire for 3DMark Vantage (where a certain game test showed a futuristic vehicle with Sapphire logo on it), this version will market MSI. What's more, it will be bundled with MSI graphics cards when the software releases. Futuremark will show off its latest creation at this year's Computex event held in early June, in Taiwan. The software will be released some time in Q3, 2010.

It's not a made-up case that this benchmark will be included. In fact, we're looking for alternative benchmarks rather than adding yet-another Futuremark benchmark.

Finally a new bench .....

I just wonder if this will require you to purchase or if they will have a free but limited version? I hope it has a free version so we can get points for it.

Sounds like hwbot is butthurt at fm for not throwing any pennies their way. You know it'll be added though...

That was my thought as well. Cause they know dam well no one will realy buy it to bench for no points.

The only reason I have vantage is because it came free with a motherboard. :blink:

What a joke. Looks like the previous Deep Sea Demo won't be a part of the nex gen benchmark.

What the hell is the point of showing it then?

At least there will be a free version, so boints-a-plenty to be had for those worried about that. :thumbsup:

Maybe Proxycon will have a 3rd life? :laughing:
