3DMark Next systems requirements
Written by Andreas G 22 October 2007 09:29

3DMark Next is the name of the successor to 3DMark 06. The developers at Futuremark have been rather quiet about the upcoming 3D benchmark, but we do know that it will be Vista and DirectX 10 / Shader Model 4.0 exclusive. As with all of the previous 3DMark benchmarks, 3DMark Next have some quite extreme system requirements, but the funny thing about them is that they are for just running the benchmark. If you want it to run smoothly and achieve a good score you need some even more extreme. The absolute minimum requirements are quite fair, but we dare to claim that such a system won't get you far.

Publishers Minimum System

  • x86/x64 single core CPU with SSE2 support. Performance similar to Intel Pentium D 3.2 GHz or better.
  • Fully D3D10/SM4.0 compliant graphics card, 256 MB
  • 1024 MB RAM
  • 2 GB Free Disk Space
  • Windows Vista (Server editions not supported)

Publishers Recommended System

  • Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 or equivalent AMD CPU.
  • Fully D3D10/SM4.0 compliant graphics card, 512 MB
  • 2048 MB RAM
  • 2 GB Free Disk Space
  • Windows Vista (Server editions not supported)

Over at YouGamers they also have an online system check for those who wants to know if their specific system can handle the 3DMark Next.
