    What's the point in comparing across platforms? I guess I can kind've understand iOS versus Android, but why build that into the PC benchmark software? The usage and power are completely different.

    I cannot wait to download and try, hopefully won't cause disappointment like 05, 06 and Vantage.

    Why crossplatform? There will be different tests involved. The 3D mark for PC's features 1 DX9, 1 DX10 and 1 DX11 (Fire Strike) test runs, and the mobile platform others. There're pleople out there who overclock mobile devices as well as they tend to become twice as powerful every year) they are of course capable of running decent games as well. We'll hopefully find out more later this year!

    Awesome! Can't wait, good with something new :) (guess it almost is)

    Hopefully we'll get more accurate results this time, 3DMark11 is starting to show its age.

    So they did release it finally. Dying to try this out on my laptop on 4th Feb, are we planning to have a dedicated thread for benchmark scores of 2013.

    Why is everyone so excited about a benchmark? It's like getting excited for a commercial. I'll likely run it when it arrives, but sounds like Fire Strike will bring every laptop to its knees. I like Catzilla a lot better. Very unique and interesting and scalable.

    But yeah, odd that they make it cross platform. Herr derr, I get a score of P0.2 on my Android, take THAT Windows!

    Doing benchmarks gives me a rush. I love it, almost like gaming, seeing my laptops power:benchmark ratio go up is amazing, I just love it. Different vBIOS', OC's, RAM fun etc. just makes it all worth it when you achieve insane scores.

    Personally I've been really lazy uploading new high scores and such, but keeping screens of the achievements really shows me how much technology is advancing. Several years ago, getting 8k with a M1730 on Vantage was considered INSANE, now it's basically nothing.

    I guess what I was trying to say came out kinda wrong, as I am anticipating this benchmark like any other one. I was more referring to some other comments users made at some other sites how people are actually anxiously anticipating this benchmark as much as a AAA game release. It'll be 5 minutes of 3D for benchmarking purposes.

    Im interested in what the actual differences are going to be... I mean other than just a new Benchmark. I swear if they finally enabled Hyper-threading and multi-threaded (Over 4) CPU's i would be so excited... I could finally utilize my i7's full potential! :)

    Does anyone see a way to "Run All Tests" for the entire series without the silly demos? I don't really care to watch the demos more than one time, so I am running each test standalone with the demo box unchecked. I like how the results display for the series when they are all run at once. Results posted over here [ LINK]

    Just saw your post and I asked the same thing in the other thread (which you can delete). So stupid how you can't turn off the demos to run all tests. I like how they're displayed together too. At least for the purchased version they should put a checkbox to turn demos on or off when you run all tests.

    Anyone notice how default (i.e. only way to get an overall score) Fire Strike uses Trilinear instead of AFx16, seems beyond silly to me...

    I think you're missing the point of quality testing (who doesn't crank up the AF when gaming) and comparable results to which is the life blood of Futuremark.
