3DMark07 Fully Quad Core Optimized

I always hate when new 3dmark benchies come out...they always make new comps look like outdated pieces of hardware.

quad core here I come :(
 
rumor is that Futuremark's 3D Mark 07 will be fully Quad-Core Optimized, even in the Game Tests. Users will gain better framerates with a Quad Core Processor even in graphics tests

once again proving they are trying to be something they are not

either be a video card benchmark, or don't

What would realy be nice is if more games started utilizing 2 cores. :rolleyes:

I agree. I know 3DMark is simply a benchmark suite, but it would be great to have games that support optimization of multiple cores before something like this comes into fluition. Give us the app optimization first so it can scale better with the benchmarking to better give us an idea of overall performance.

When is 3dmark 07 supposed to come out? I'm guessing right after Vista?

Along the lines of that question, will it require DX10 graphics cards?

:D :D Seriously, before I even consider going quad core they gotta get the ball rolling still on dual!
 
Since when do they release a new 3dmark every year? Who wants to bet that they'll just throw new shaders on their old test runs from '05 and charge 20 bux for it. :rolleyes:
 
I'm getting tired of the stupid CPU-basis of these new ones. Stick to fucking graphics! It really pissed me off with '06 when it included your CPU score into the calculations for the total score. Really dumb IMO.
