3DMark05 Released! (1 Comments) (link)
 Thursday, 30-September-2004  16:50:38 (GMT +10) - by Agg

FutureMark (who seem to be down at the moment) released 3DMark05 after a prolonged countdown that confused a lot of people. 3DMark is of course a 3D benchmarking utility and usually boasts some serious eye-candy, bringing most video cards to their knees in the process. Coverage on Tech-Report, Bjorn3D, 3DVelocity, Accelenation, Bit-Tech, Hexus, XbitLabs and EliteBastards.

AusGamers have a fast mirror here if you want to grab the 297MB (!) download. You'll need DirectX 9.0c and a Pixel Shader 2 capable video card, so GeForce FX5200 or above on the NVIDIA side, Radeon 9500 or above for ATI.

Our Video Cards forum is abuzz with 3DMark05 chatter, see the 3DMark05 download links and general discussion thread, or 3DMark05 results and advice.
