That looks like something that could be in a Myst game. I can only imagine how long it took to make all that detail..
 
As soon as that screenshot loaded, my PC got up, ran into the corner, and started crying. Then it had a heart attack.

Same here.
 
Welcome to the next-gen of jerkiness ;)

Beautiful screenshot though.

Oh Noes. You posted a screen. This one caused my computer to poop in its hand, and throw it at me.

Then my computer offered to.....service me.....sexually.....to not install '05 on it.

Just as we were about to get down to it, my computer bit off my junk.

Then threw it at me.
 
very nice looking, but:

fps .5? yes
slideshow? yes
high score in 3dmark '05? 105
 
eh, this picuture will cost you about $2000 dollars in computers upgrades before you can run it and have a smooth framerate (guesstimating).

Probably more than that bud. The hardware to run this at a really smooth framerate probably doesn't even exist yet.

agreed
id say we're less than ten years away from complete photo reality
i just hope people will be able to distinguish between the real world and the game world :P
 
3Dmark05 will trash the 6800 and X800 cards. I don't even want to think what will happen to my pc if I try to run it, probably get 10 points total :laugh:
 
What sort of monster rigs do the Futuremark people have to make this stuff?, surely it must be a slideshow for them too...
 
I'd like to you remind you that this has absolutley nothing to do with what games will look like. This is a syntetic benchmark. Not a ga,me engine. I can make a pretty scene in 3ds Max, and how long it takes to render will be as indicative of future games as 3Dmark05 is.

They use Skynet ;)
 
Sidewinder, surely the whole point of 3Dmark is to represent the games technology of the future and benchmark your card to show how well/long it will last?

It was the same when 2003 came out with the Doom 3 style benchmark. I think this is in a similar fasion represents the U3 engine standards which, no doubt we will se also a year or 2 from now.

The 3d Mark engine is very much a real game engine, and you will find that they have a licensing programme for it for developers to use for there games.

I believe there previous engine was based on the MadFX engine which was used in Max Payne 1&2
 
I'd like to see how the new Alienware ALX with a video array could handle a scene like that in a game.... fps: ummm... twice whatever you get with one card, i guess.... crazy alienware.... crazy game advancements.... can't wait til we have games looking that good though, with decent textures
 
Too much post processing HDR effects on those screenshots of 3DMark05.

We'd like to think that, but, as I will show later, it doesn't represent game technology. It doesn't show how long your card will last, for sure. When it first came out, people with ti4600s were getting sub-1500 scores. If the Benchmark showed realworld gameplay or how long your card will last, then you would assume, from the results, that the Ti-4600 was a crappy card and that it would only last a few more monthes. Obviously not true.

It was the same when 2003 came out with the Doom 3 style benchmark. I think this is in a similar fasion represents the U3 engine standards which, no doubt we will se also a year or 2 from now.

First off, Doom 3 is an openGL game, and 3d03 is a pure dx synthetic. Obviously, it showed nothing related to doom 3 and how it would perform. Again, see below about how it doesn't represent any engine.

Yes, 3DMark01/01SE were based on real engines. That's why those are good. 03/05 are not.

3D Engine. Previous versions of 3DMark used the MAX-FX 3D engine. The trend in 3D engines is moving towards very lightweight DirectX wrappers as more and more work is transitioned to the API and graphics card. 3DMark03 based the benchmark directly on top of the DirectX 9.0 3D platform. This allows the benchmark to be independent of specific technologies embedded in a single 3D engine implementation.

Futuremark says it in plain language. 3DMark03 does not have the technologies that are used in a game engine. Developers use engines for a reason; building ontop of DirectX code is wasteful and ineffecient. That's why they develop these other technologies. 3Dmark just tests the raw directX capability of the card (or at least we'd like to think). Ok, so that give you comparison on how they compare in DX terms. Good for you and your e-penis. But that has very little to do with real game performance. Real games have better, tighter, more efficent code, that does a hell of alot more. 3Dmark doesn't test that.


And I'd really like to see a link about the engine liscence thing. please.

Actually, 3D Mark 03 was Doom 3 centric because they thought future games would look like Doom 3. While it was written in DX, it used a bunch of Doom 3 technology (not the engine though) like stencil shadows, dynamic lights, and normal maps. In fact it was heavily weighted to show the performance of a game like Doom 3 (the second and third tests). This is why Nvidia hardware (the FX and 6800) series always scored better than competing ATI hardware on 3D Mark 03.
