Futuremark 3DMark04 Q&A Review
|
Posted on Wednesday, July 28 2004 @ 13:36:25 CEST by LSDsmurf |
Nearly 18 months ago Futuremark released 3DMark03 - the latest in the line of 3D performance benchmarks and their first to make use of DirectX9 technologies. While, internally, they probably realised that not all was happy in in the Beta members (the group of members that steer the benchmark - which includes the IHV's who's products will be tested by the benchmark) camp, its doubtful that anyone would have expected the rough ride that was to ensue over disagreements with what the benchmark tests and overzealous optimisations coded into drivers.
After some time all parties patched up the majority of their differences and the work on the next release of 3DMark was allowed to progress relatively unfettered. Over the past few months Futuremark have been busy putting together the 3DMark04 and they are giving us some small insights as to what we may see when the benchmark is ultimately released.
We've fired a bunch of questions at Futuremark and Nicklas Renqvist, Patric Ojala, and Tero Sarkkinen gives us some answers...
