3DMark Vantage first screenshots?

Posted on Wednesday, December 26 2007 @ 22:05 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck
Earlier this week a site published some screenshots of the new 3DMark but users quickly found out that these shots weren't the real deal. Now ChipHell claims to have some real screenshots and some more information about 3DMark Vantage:
Now 3 DMARK Vantage Build 23 includes Game Test1 Test, the name is Jane Nash, Game Test 2, the name is New Calico, and CPU Test1, the name is AI, and CPU Test2, the name is Physics, these two test CPU’s AI and physics acceleration performance.

From the fps and the quality shown in the pictures , we can say 3 DMARK Vantage is still in the beta stage, screen quality is not perfect, the picture is rather vague, at the same time, under the 1280 x1024 resolution, Radeon HD 3850 512MB Crossfire didn’t run very well.

Heard from other testers, that GeForce 8800GTX cannot run Game Test 2, compared with the fact that Radeon HD 3850 512MB Crossfire can run Game Test 2, it suggests that Game Test 2 -New Calico tests the DX10.1 capability of graphics cards. What a pitty for NVIDIA, when 3 DMARK Vantage comes out at next February, NVIDIA can only get GeForce 9600 GT out for 3 DMARK Vantage if D9E cannot support DX10.1.


I'm not really convinced that these screenshots are real - the graphics quality of the screenshots is pretty low for a new benchmark.
