I predict my score to be


3


Don't think the Opty and the 8800 are going to cut it there.

My reaction was pretty close. Substitute Ohhhh for Holy.

I can see why they skipped 07. 3dmark08 is a huge jump in rendering realism. We'll be running sub 20 fps and maybe even sub 10fps for a generation or two on these benchmarks.
 
Now when games start to look like that i'll be amazed. Thats just .. unbelievable. One thing that irks me about games (in the games I play at least) is the way a human skull is rendered. It's not completely round. Still has the jaggy/straight edge thing going on.
 
Unfortunately these are fake, I was looking forward to some variety in 3Dmark. We've had Proxycon shoved down our throats since 3DMark03. I seriously miss the days of 3DMark 99 and 2000/01. Those were truely nice demos in and of themselves to watch instead of just bench...they told an interesting sort of story with fantastic music.
 
Yeah I was looking some stuff up on google about this and at least one of the screenies if not all of them are fake. As per previous post. Kind of disappointed. oh well
 
i don't even think my inspiron 6000 which i use, can run last years 3D mark. Hahaha
 
Yeah, my score is going to be around 4-5. 0 on the CPU test for sure.
 
My jaw hit the floor until I realized those were fake renders. It would sure be nice if stuff like that were possible with DX10, but we probably won't be seeing stuff like that in realtime @ 30fps for another five or more years.

Besides, the final nail in the coffin for me thinking that these are fakes is that Futuremark is supposedly calling the next iteration of their infamous benchmark "3DMark Vantage" in homage to Fistula, err, I mean Vista. :p
 
My system just snickered and creamed itself.

:(

I hope they're fake, as you've all stated, but it ALMOST ALMOST looks life-like graphics.

:D
 
The first two are obviously photos, with post processing to add bloom. The pic with the World War 2 dog fight is really old. I've seen that floating around the Internet years ago, and it's a render.
 
Oh, come on. It was pretty obvious they are fake, just because of the varied level of realism in the pictures. Some were 99% photo-realistic, others were obviously computer generated, and the WW2 plane looked like a 2005~ game. It'd be a lot more believable if they were more on the same page of graphic fidelity.

The first pic with an Iguana is probaly quite possible to do in real time (with not much else in background) on current top end hardware though.
 
2005? Look at the terrain. FSX doesn't even come close to looking that good. Also, the models themselves have a ton of polygons. It's definitely rendered.
 
Interesting...though I dont think we have the available gpu power to render anything close to those scenes in any playable experience at a 24" res level. Though I am sorta looking forward to a new e-penis play toy.

It might take another 500gb... :p
