IMO it's about time Futuremark either limited the amount of cores 3DMark uses, or drastically alters the amount that the CPU score contributes to the total. 3DMark used to be about who had the fastest 3D card and who could tune it the best, not who can afford a £2k CPU and who can't...

With some of the recent Futuremark benches it has actually gone the other way where the CPU is undervalued and does not contribute much to the score.

To correct the above Futuremark tweaked Timespy Extreme to more accurately reflect what performance the CPU was contributing.

A common mistake some people make is to underestimate how much the combined score adds to the overall score. The combined score uses very few CPU cores so high clockspeed is better than more cores.

The other thing that people forget is the Futuremark benches are not GPU only benches but are designed to test overall PC performance.

The best Graphics orientated bench I have seen is Unigine Heaven 4 but for some reason people don't use it much these days.:)
