Az új DX9-es benchmark
-
Borg #741 Patricia (ATI desktop marketing):
"ATI fully supports this new graphics benchmark, 3Dmark03. We feel it is a valuable diagnostic tool for estimating the performance of current and future graphics products when running future game titles (to be released over the next 1-2 years). We believe that using synthetic benchmarks such as 3DMark03 in combination with real applications and game benchmarks provides the most complete picture of the overall performance and value of graphics hardware.
It takes significant development time for developers to incorporate new DX features into their games and engines. So, it is virtually impossible to predict the performance of future games using only existing games. From a business perspective, game developers generally wait for a minimum install-base of a certain generation of graphics products before they incorporate features that rely on those products. Synthetic benchmarks aren't necessarily subject to these limitations, and therefore can be designed to stress the limits of even the most powerful and leading-edge graphics hardware available."
