3DMark Cow History:

? In 2001 you can enable an easteregg where you can drive around and shoot down flying cows:

Open the Edit Projekt dialog and inserHoly Cow!b> as Project Name, this will unlock the Game Demo button.

? In 03 there are some cows at the end of the first part of the demo.

? In 05 you can enable an easteregg that replaces some of the the Arolphins (flying dolphins) with Cowlfins (flying cows) at the end of the Demo (credits screen):

Start 3DMark05 with the commandline para-lehm?m? and run th"C:\Program Files\Futuremark\3DMark05\3DMark05.exe" -lehm?ehm?

I was playing with Mr.Ripper (Plugin for FAR manager) and saw that the new addon supports the dat files from 3DMark03, PCMark04 & 3DMark05.

I extracted credits.ogg from 3DMark05.dat (Poets Of The Fall - Lift Me Higher) and stumbled upon cow.dds (see pic).

Ha!.. another cow easteregg,.. I searched the Net and found .... nothing,.. so I opened 3DMark05.dat again and found demo_credits_fun.txt and demo_end_fun.evascene and this file has some references to the easteregg: Cowlfin, cow.dds and EasterEggCow.

In short: I opened 3DMark05.exe with a hex editor and searched for demo_credits_fun.txt, in the same line I found:)lehm?. :)

Random off-topic trivia. "Poets of the Fall" did the end music for Max Payne 2, the track "Late Goodbye".

& in the Game Demo from 3DMark2001 there is a billboard with an advertisement from Max Payne. :)

anyone have pics of arolphins? my mx440 is nowhere near supporting 3dmark05 (thought it may have broken teh overclock record!)

Sure,.. here ya go. :)

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      The consumer ESU is ending in 4 months. LTSC isn't now, never has been, and never will be for consumer use, it is for OT usage - plant machinery, medical devices, manufacturing equipment etc. LTSC requires a Microsoft EA. You can't legally obtain LTSC to run on your PC at home.

      Hmm actually looks decently interesting!  
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      Being on GitHub doesn't make something safe. Like any unofficial scripts to do x or y this caters to people with just enough knowledge to be dangerous. If you want to do what this does, and you actually know what you're doing then write your own script (or maybe just add the reg keys yourself) if you don't have the ability to read and understand what a script is doing, and especially don't run it with elevated privileges. Or in this case just use an MSA, sign up the normal route, and stop trying to push water up hill
