Another faulty one

I like finding faulty scores

. This one comes from macci

. He is 2nd in 3dMark05 with multiple cards. Look at his verification link...

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=3162711

He hasn't ran any CPU tests, neither Batch Size tests and he is also missing 3/5 Features tests

If the score is only based on the game tests, why would someone run the other tests too?

Oh well... The score isn't supposed to be based only on the Game tests. The title(3dMark05) states that it is supposed to be based on the whole application and not just some parts of it(Game Tests)

How about this thread then?

PC Mark 05 is a CPU based application. So the guy ran only the CPU tests and he got a really impressive score. But, YOU blocked it because of that. Shouldn't you unblock it then???

Hi demos,

This is wrong and has nothing to do with us.

The calculation used to give a score is as follows - from page 23 FM Whitepaper

3DMark05 score = (Game Test 1 * Game Test 2 * Game Test 3)^0.33 * 250

Most people usually only run the tests that are required to get a score, so please do a little research before rolling your eyes at us. If you want to do this yourself and you have the free version, simply hit Esc after Canyon Flight, the third game test.
