I don't think it's stupid, this way it actually compares how well a computer holds up in gaming, and shows where a potential bottleneck is.I thinks its stupid that 3DMark06 also includes the CPU benchmark. The best way is to compare only the video benchmarks seperate.
you don't play 3dmark06 with your video card, you play video games with you video card. It doesn't matter what os you have if you don't get better fps.
what do you mean? i cant tell if you are agreeing or disagreeing? or coming from left field, or what?
im saying that a benchmark is just a benchmark even though vista may hurt 3dmark06 scores. Actual ingame performance is the best bet.
very true, but vista does hurt FPS.
