The money issue isn't the one that gets me. I pre-ordered this thing the day they opened up for pre-orders.

 

It's the damn results window...

 

The UI has plenty of room to display the detailed results. Every single Futuremark bench before now has had it so this had to have been a conscious decision, which is why it pisses me off.

 

Futuremark wants to funnel everyone through their site even if it is at the customers' expense.

They should understand that benchmarkers are a fair % of their userbase... and thats not how benchmarking works.

 

I thought FM had good contact with guys like Sampsa, Kinc, Petri, PJ etc... they should know what we NEED

How exactly is the first one fixed with license?

 

well in one way, we don't need subtests to be visable in screenshots if every result comes with a ORB link..

+1 add it for points , whats a couple of bucks when we spend so much money in hardware ??? In My opinion add 3DMark11 , make a poll and let the community decide whether they want it or not , FM needs to fix the offline score subtests showing and also they need to fix the submission from only a DX11 card PC.

i say wait until it gives results that make sense

 

see this guy on the first page with a ln2 cooled 580/980 > http://hwbot.org/forum/showpost.php?p=83271&postcount=10

gets put to shame by a air(or water) 480+980x > http://3dmark.com/3dm11/34400

 

it's either 2x480 and not detected properly or it's plain messed up

 

plus you need modded nvidia drivers for sli to "work" on the bench.

 

it seems to be really immature at the moment

We gave them a try (accepting Vantage that started this crap with details and results) - they didn't do anything to come closer to users. Why should we do this again?

 

No points at least. Or dump it on the whole. Free adequate usage - is the only thing we need.

Just because I haven't been in the game for long, I have a question. Many of you mention Vantage and '06. Were these same issues there at launch for those? Does Futuremark listen to what we want?

 

Like I said earlier, it seems to be deliberate to funnel users through their web site so they gain ad revenue.

This should have been a poll PJ.

 

Anyhow, for no details and no submission via alternate PC i vote no.

I'm fine for it to be a paid bench

3DMark03, 05 and 06 all were released with score (+ subtest) visible from the start. Later, they patched those three benchmarks and the score was no longer visible without using an advanced key. Vantage was released with the score hidden from the start, but the score (+ subtest) were visible once you used an advanced key.

 

It's pretty much the same as with 3DMark11, only now we don't even get to see the subtest scores.

Ahh... That makes sense. I guess it's good that I have keys for all of my Futuremark products.

 

Now all they need to do is step up their game and make 3DMark 11 worth having.

 

What's up with the awkward area next to the CPU/GPU used on the score window? Oh... it's where they removed the subscores from...

cooperation?

 

3DMark11 Basic - free

3DMark11 Overclock - $5 - basic + shows subtests score for easy screenshot

3DMark11 Advanced - $20

3DMark11 Professional - $999

 

try to get a deal with FM to get -$5 off when HWbot sends a referrer to Futuremark to buy a product;

- HWbot users can get 3D11OC for free OR spend $15 and enjoy offline result storage and unlimited submissions published (for TOP 20)

Or this

 

3DMark11 Basic - free

3DMark11 Overclock - $5

3DMark11 Advanced - $20 - shows subtests score for easy screenshot

3DMark11 Professional - $999

 

20$ is really nothing, when someone spend like 200$ only on LN2... There is no problem with paying that 20$, but if I pay 20$ I want subtests to be visible. Until then, I vote NO.

 

If we put it on HWBOT, manufactures will use it as an some kind of reference and FM won't do anything to update it, but if we "ignore" it, I doubt that situation will be the same
