Originally posted by SteveC Bit silly now though that a 1Gig CPU with a 9700 Radeon is twice the performance of a 3Gig CPU with a GF4... this can't be used as a system comparison any more. It can only be used to compare raw graphics performance, can't it? It's no longer a System 3D performance test, but I can't decide if it's better now that it's a real 3D graphics card test.
No... thats because Detonator can't run GT4 yet, as soon as it can, the performance would be closer. 3DMark03 is still quite dependent on CPU, but not as much as 3DMark2001.

If there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.

Don´t really know, but this thing has a unpolished, unfinished feeling about it. 3dmark2000 had prettier scenes than game 1. Game 2 and 3 also run much slower than expected. That doom3 alpha leak looks better and run faster, and this says preety much about how unoptimized 3dmark code is.
That pixel shader 1.4 -> 1.1 fallback is also nonsense, why not 1.3?
