FM_Jarnis Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) Just a FYI... http://www.futuremark.com/pressroom/pressreleases/60054/ Not much yet, but "it's coming". Key bits off the PR: 3DMark for Windows 8 (working title) * Measures and compares gaming performance on all Windows 8 devices * Stunning real-time scenes stress test all levels of hardware * Supports both x86 and ARM-based architectures * Can be used in both Metro UI and 'classic' Windows environments * Created in co-operation with the world’s leading technology companies * Currently in development, expected to be released in 2012 Edit: Oh, and there is one concept art image (*not* a screen capture)... http://www.futuremark.com/images/products/3DMarkWindows8_ConceptArt.jpg Edited November 14, 2011 by FM_Jarnis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Oh, wow. Comparing all those devices should be an interesting challenge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FM_Jarnis Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 Oh, wow. Comparing all those devices should be an interesting challenge! Indeed. You may also probably do some 1+1 math and figure out what would be required from a benchmark to do so, across all that hardware space... can't go into all the tech details yet (mostly because all of that isn't yet set in stone, heck a lot about Windows 8 isn't set in stone yet), but it won't be a "3DMark 11 Second Edition" - it will be a complete new benchmark.

K404 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Comparing scores across so many platforms will be hard and maybe not sit well with this request, but if possible.... please can the score algorithm... "make sense"? Simple is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"make sense"? Simple is good It is a complex issue and nothing has been decided on that yet, but obviously we are aware that it is a key aspect that has to make sense...

poparamiro Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) 3DMark 2001 Nature was great, Mother Nature was (and still is) awesome, i think all enthusiasts will be more than happy with new nature with all that shader power of today vga's. Anyway, new 3DMark is very good news. All the best. Edited November 18, 2011 by poparamiro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K404 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 For a change, I'd like to see a test that has one scene that progresses & develops. The scene moves around the camera... not the camera moving around the scene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
