It's one of the crappy/buggy software I've seen.

I ran it once, and it seems like I can't bench again unless I buy it lol.

yea guys it came out yesterday and suprise surprise no more free version a basic edition (ie old free edition) now costs like 6.99 and the pro version is 20. The trial version gives you 1 run and thats it. So far most reviews have said its really a waste of time makes benchmarking even more difficult with its seperate scores for comparisions between systems.

Nonya its usually going to do that the tests are designed to push your hardware further than current games as its a way to see how well you could hold up with games a few years down the road, not to mention the programming of the software wasnt designed by a top notch game devolper, but they supposed to be trying to become one or something I've read somewhere.

I got P2380, 7910 on CPU, and 1930 on graphics.

But it would appear that futuremark no longer cares about the average user. Greedy bastards. I, from now on will be using "real" benchmarks as futuremark tends to discriminate by gpu their results and companies try to manipulate drivers etc...

P6718 3DMarks nvidia 174.74 driver not bad at all,
X2124 3DMarks for the XPS1730

my home system scored X5127
the X score doesnt seem right for the dell considering the dekstop counterpart but thats probably where the 768mb and 384bit bus shine on the 8800GTX

i'm about to download, but i may have found a way to run more than once. just enter a different email for another passcode. i've got like 4 or 5 email addys so i tried 2 of them. i'm gonna run one stock and one with my processor at 3.4.

errors out when finishing the CPU test because it's not closing the 3D environment properly

odd how in the screenshot posted, the 8800m GTX scores lower than it does in 3DMark06, yet a 9800 GX2 scores higher than it would in '06.

edit: Well, I know my 8800GT gets around 11,500 on 3DMark06, so it'll be interesting to see what this benchmark gives (if anything at all) LOL Just a 10 minute download with high speed
