    Dunno for sure if this is the right place for this, but it looks really good.

    Great, something else to bring my lowly dual-core to it's knees. Guess I will be forced to go quad soon.

    Since when does MSI fund deep sea dives? Looked alright, good showcase of tessellation, but everything else looks DX10-ish and seems to be easily done on current DX10 hardware.

    Decent, but not taken away...

    That's pretty bad to have advertising in a benchmark. At least it wasn't ATi or nVidia... lol.

    I could have sworn I saw a BP logo and an oily substance off in the distance in that video.

    it'll prob be in the free version, which frankly is fair. Usually companies like to make money, not give it away.

    They were expecting more people buying their suite. I guess the only 1 trial of the Vantage suite didn't work at all.

    Heh, ads dont bother me, gotten so used to them I rarely notice anymore. And to be fair, I rather have ads if its free than no ads and pay to use it.

    3DMark has always had advertisements, going all the way back since 3DMark 2000/2001 SE.

    True, but only in the cut scenes. I don't care really, just seems a little tacky to have a name like MSI tacked on the side of a deep sea sub...

    I'm sure these benchmarks are only costing more and more time and money to create. Give them a break with the advertising.

    It looks very realistic BTW, just needs some real time particle flow to make the water appear life like as it should be filled with debris and natural matter that one would usually flowing in sea water close to the bottom.

    You would have different versions rendering different visuals, on a benchmark?
