I see this game by Novalogic used in benchmarks all the time, I just noticed it again today on a Athlon64 bench (http://www.hothardware.com/hh_files/...64fx_51_launch(6).shtm). I've never even seen this game before, and no one seems to talk about it either. Am I missing out on something, why do some many people use this as a benchmark? When I see it in an article I quickly glaze over it as I don't feel it represents any games I play.
why do people use 3dmark 2001/2003? the game is heavily cpu dependant which is why it's used...
True 2003 is not designed to see raw CPU power.. But 2001 can be :)Quote:

If you have the same card across all your benching... Then the main difference would be the CPU/Board and memory :)
Which can be used to determine which product is faster :)
I could see the use of 3Dmark, it being an actual benchmark utility. How old is Commanche, there aren't any newer games that are cpu dependent?Quote:

They use it because it has DX9 features in it, but testing has shown this program to be alomost purely CPU limited.
