1. 3DMark 2000 is not awarded with points at all.
2. Why would you be awarded points for running a certain CPU/GPU Mix? There are so many combinations that the rankings will be worthless in the end.
3. False, Air/H2O people stand a decent chance if points is what they are after, just look at Top 10 in Enthusiast League. Now ofcourse, you can't ask a GT3 car to beat LMP1/2, but they are still fun to race and watch, agree?
4. You get points for your team with each hardware that they didn't use. So even a score that awarded you with 0,1 points is still worth at least 2 points for your team. Compete in empty categories and that will be 5.2points.
5. And most important, if you had fun running that benchmark it's more important than virtual points.
