3DMark05 question

[Geoff]

do any of you know why 3DMark03 has sound tests, but 3DMark05 doesnt? Cause i think thats something that help my score out in 3dmark03

i'll post my scores w/ and without my sound card installed:

Without: Testing...
With: Testing...

 

[Geoff]

well i tested it and i got a score of 3999 with the demo (only game tests), and 3965 with the pro version (game, cpu, sound, and other tests). SO i guess there isnt really a huge difference, but why isnt there a sound test with the 05 version?

Well... I don't know... maybe the developers decided that sound performance doesn't affect the visual quality of games, so they just left it out.
