I must admit it's not very impressive in the flesh though especially the first game test = meh, Uncharted on the PS3 looks better.

There are fewer tests also than the previous version, no DX10.1 support, and they seem to be charging more money for it also...

Hmm, think I'll skip this one I reckon.

It may be cheap, but I have no intention on paying for a benchmark.
Hope the new 3DMark doesnt follow that model.

Agreed, I think this one (and most other reviews agree) is a big giant turd... Wink

They need to hire better artists also, and sack the cartoonists...

Yeah I don't know. I'm not terribly impressed either, and I think they lost everyones interest.

heh, I scale this test to Vista rating test. They had guts to slow these Vantages down at Intel hardware just because AMD wasn't as fast as Intel.

I mean wasn't this supposed to be an benchmark?

Cool
