yeah no kidding. Just out of morbid curiosity I still read the comments just to see if anyone actually has something intelligent to add. Sadly, posts like that prove that I'm wasting my time.
Seriously, a "REAL-WORLD" test that shows what performance would be like right now with today's top hardware is useful how?
If I read a CPU benchmark I don't give a rats about how it performs with today's video cards. A new video card gets released and then what? The review is instantly worthless. It becomes "OLD-WORLD." Is [H] going to redo the entire article every time a new video card is released?
bwahahaha. oh geeez. Screw [h]. Haven't paid much attention to any of their reviews for a LONG long time.
Using fraps for benchmarking is a total crock for anything other than casual "How is my machine doin" benchmarking.
No two runs are going to be the same, and when the difference between performance numbers comes down to 2 or 3 percent (which can translate to only 2 or 3 FPS in most cases) who is to say that it wasn't because of some difference in the runs.
Big f'in woop. People are making more of a deal out of this than it is.
I mean christ, when I got far cry bundled with my 6800 Ultra it absolutely wasn't playable on it. There is a big sticker right on the CD sleeve that says to go download the update to make this playable.
Go play a console if this bothers you so much. Its a problem that is NEVER going to go away just because of the nature of PCs.
That nice if the bugs applied to EVERYONE. Frankly thats not the case. I haven't had a SINGLE problem. Sometimes there are just certain combinations of hardware that developers just can't test for. Thats the nature of PC gaming.
