3D Mark tests the gfx-cards D3D capabilities and performance only ...

For a good all-system benchmark, I recommend Tirtanium 1.6 ...

It let's you compare D3D vs. OGL and the BIG version uses up to 22k polygons and +20MB of textures at once.

It is also CPU dependant and hence it gives you more accurate results of your complete system performance.

Hmmm, I like benchmarks and performance but they are not acurate for comparing other systems. How would you like it if your girl shows up in bed with a ruler(scale)? I'm not saying that systems cannot be compared, just that there are too many variables to consider. The best application for benchmarks would be for tweaking your own system using controlled variables. This has been said so many times, but needs to be repeated over and over.....
