Update on 3DMark 11 release date

[Jarnis]

Over the weekend we made the difficult decision to postpone the launch of 3DMark 11 by a few days.

Our aim is that 3DMark 11 should provide accurate, reliable and consistent results from the start. With that goal in mind we are taking some extra time now to fix a couple of difficult bugs rather than patch the benchmark immediately after launch.

It might take a day, it might be a week, but either way we'll confirm the new launch date as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

And just my personal note on this: We are working hard towards keeping this delay as short as possible - a day or two - but you can probably understand that we do not want to state another date until we are 100% sure.

We will update this as soon as we know.

You did a right thing. 2-3 days or week means nothing in overall time creating the benchmark. [yes]

Anyway I like to bench over the weekend, not on tuesday.

I agree with Dragomirc.
Thanks also for the e-mail I have recieved concerning the delay. Hopefully the fixes are not too difficult to master. Goodluck and we are looking forward to it's release.

You might want to change this on 3DMark.com, or Futuremark.com, or a press release. You know you will catch a pile of **** if you don't do that.

Yeah, thanks for the SH key.

I can wait a little more for 3DMark 11

I think it is being done as we speak. This was absolutely not planned for and it may take a bit to fix everything. We also waited until the last possible moment to see if we could pull it all together in time but unfortunately this was the only option.

Good deal!
