Too bad I don't have a DX11 card

 

[dreamer77dd]

will Toms hardware get the professional?

 

[doyletdude]

How is it possible for this program to requires DirectX 11 but is usable on Vista? I thought Vista capped out on 10.1.

 

[ahnilated]

Don't bother with it, after the Physics test on my i7 920 with a GTX480 it goes to a black screen and doesn't come back until you kill it in task manager.

@ahnilated -- Same here on my system with an PPII x3 720 and 5770 GPU - I was thinking it was due to the test being the physics test that it had something to do with my card being ATI and 3dmark still running the physics test with the GPU help on Nvidia cards - good to see that it is a problem on the nvidia cards also !

With the platform update, Vista supports DX11.

Thank goodness they dropped the one-use limitation present in the free version of Vantage.

 

[scrumworks]

At least its PhysX free. Step up from Vantage, prettier than "Heaven".

Vista can have dx 11 (according to the dx 11 wiki article anyway)

 

[Dirtman73]

Alright! Maybe this time around it will actually work for me, unlike all its past iterations. More bloatware than anything else, IMO.

 

[tipoo]

3DMark 2001SE FTW!

 

[Maziar]

Yep,with Vista SP2,you can use DX11

 

[iamtheking123]

And in related news, Futuremark only sells 1 copy of Professional and it is subsequently pirated by millions...at least that's what I'm planning on doing to acquire it.

[citation][nom]tipoo[/nom]3DMark 2001SE FTW![/citation]

Yep! Using 3dmark2001SE is like running a benchmark for an x86 processor by only crunching with the basic instructions, no SSE..

My next laptop must get 75K in 3Dmark2001SE!

 

[igot1forya]

If I have one pupose in life it is to destroy SPAMMERS!

 

[cobra5000]

Yeah, it's crashin my 965+5870 during the physics test. Any solutions?

You will get support for DirectX 11 when you have installed Vista Service Pack 2 and the necessary Windows updates.

Hopefully there might be a chance for this to be bundled into the AMD HD6900 graphic cards?

 

[alphadark]

So I got this score http://3dmark.com/3dm11/41367 not bad but I think my processor or ram is taking a crap . I can't bring my mem to 1600 any more without it blue screening.
