Futuremark 3DMark08 Preview

b1gapl · 12-25-2007, 02:33 AM

According to Nick Evanson - Editor-in-Chief, a new version of the popular 3DMark video benchmark is coming "soon...". Signs indicating that the new 2008 version is indeed almost ready are illustrated on the exclusive Futuremark screens below.

Looks really nice. Wonder how bad the scores will be on current rigs.

good post b1.
Looking from how scores drop with every new 3dmark, im guessin it will be about half.
I also wonder if this will work on only vista...

Unfortunately, this is a total fake

<[MaTT]> · 12-25-2007, 08:29 AM

Preacher · 12-25-2007, 10:00 AM

gurusan · 12-25-2007, 10:38 AM

The screens are all fake....

Preacher · 12-25-2007, 10:45 AM

Whatchya talking about willis? Looks like a good source , not some fake Korean site.

I have to agree with Gurusan. These are probably fake. The lizards just look like common 3D modelling poses and the others just look too polished up. Source is really not that solid either.

Even if it's fake. Sort of makes you think of what to expect.
