I was just over @ 3dchipset.com and I see Solomon has a new post up asking the question What would you like to see in 3DMark03 ? Well I would like to see them add some sort of speed read out of your card! What about YOU?
Solomon: As the subject implies. What would you like to see added in the newest incarnation of Futuremarks benchmark program. For me? I would like to see some sort of timing feature included in all results. Wouldn't it be interesting to see how long a system can seriously run the program before it locks up your computer.
I think this would probably make all those LN2 and extreme systems look bad as most of the time these ultra computers just run the benchmark once and bam it locks up about 2 minutes later. I think the programs usefullness has turned mostly into a pissing contest. Instead of being usefull, most just use it as a number game. I for one would like to see them incorporate a timing function to give a stability test/rating.
What are your thoughts? What would you like to see in this benchmark that is highly used through out the internet and print magazines?
