Default Futuremark 3DMark 08 Specs Unveiled

Quote:
The German hardware site K-Hardware has unveiled the minumum and recommended requirements for Futuremark's next gen 3DMark 2008. Unfortunately, there's no additional information, only specs this time, no release date either.

Minimum Requirements:

* X86 compatible single core CPU with SSE2 support and a performance, which are comparable with a Pentium D 3,2 GHz+.
* DirectX 10 compatible with 256 MB memory
* 1024MB Memory
* 2GB of free fixed disks
* Windows Vista

Recommended Specs:

* Intel core 2 Duo E6600 or comparable AMD CPU
* DirectX 10 compatible with 512 MB memory
* 2048MB Memory
* 2GB of free fixed disks
* Windows Vista

Of course the score will be lower. Why would it be higher than 06? It's suppose to bring today's current hardware, to it's knees. Just like what 06 did before.

I guess so. Since DX10 is a requirement too.

They should release an XP version.

wait... so you can't run the dx9 cards here?

so people with the x1950xt (or any other dx9 card) can't run 3dmark08? so that means the people with 8600gt 's will have a score and the x1950's will have a 0 score like i do? oh thats real fair..
