    DELL will use 3DMark03 to benchmark VCD GPUs

    The biggest system OEM in the world will be judging its Videocard GPUs with this benchmark.
    No ideea why some guys complain that 3Dmark 2003 is not a complete DX9 bench ?? ,..well if the bench was only DX9 then our DX8 videocards would score '0'

    Oh well, people who usually bought Dells/Gateways/etc didnt know any better anyways, now they will just be getting a skewed benchmark to go with their purchase.

    Dell is using 03 because they are making a big switch over to ATI cards. I saw an ad in next months Computer Gaming and out of 6 computers, only the low end laptop had an nVdia card.

    I hope they don't post the scores, because the normal (entry level) Dell machine struggles to be 700 in 2001.
