While you're at it, make it graphics scores only seeing as the CPU weighting is totally unrealistic.

Really don't know why people persist with this garbage piece of software. A proper benchmark should accurately reflect performance of the average game and be totally independent from all influence by the hardware manufacturers and OS vendor. 3DMark fails on all counts.

Seriously though, why not maintain two lists, one of overall scores and one of graphics scores. In addition to the graphics one being more useful, it'll demonstrate how skewed the overall one is.

totally agree on the 2 list request

but in terms of usefulness of this Vantage software, i would have to say it is very useful. this is actually the first Dx10 exclusive test available, and it shows clearly which architecture is the king in Dx10.
show me any game and that is exclusively Dx10, that upon benchmarked, show very similar scores all the time.
