Default 3DMark Vantage is out!

Futuremark - Coming Soon!

It's officially out! Or so says the headlines :P The Site's title still says coming soon, but it appears to be available. I'm going to let it slaughter my PC, wish me luck!

Are you just randomly plugging that website or is there something in particular there we should be concerned with in terms of Futuremark's 3DMark Vantage?

Yes it is out, installed last night. Went nuckin futs (lots of artifacts) with my SLI enabled but scored E13330 on the first run not to high since I am only running 8800GTX's and not OC my proc. I honestly LMFAO with the physics of the female agent running away....and the boat/plane she gets away in, is advertised by Sapphire.

Yeah, I saw those screenshots on all the different websites and just shook my head. Doesn't look like Futuremark is offering a free version of 3DMark Vantage either! You might think with that kind of advertising that they could at least have a free version!

Yougamers is a website owned by Futuremark that is "closer" to the gamer crowd than the official Futuremark website.




If there is a final hour, let's hope for a higher power. One by one, and two by two, I have ammo, what about you?

And a side note to remember "this is for Vista only" will not run on XP. (So they say) Would hate for someone to want it and find this out the asshat way.

I figured since it rendered in DX10 natively and used SM4. Of course some people may not realize that before buying it... Kind of like how I got half through the download and thought of it :P
