Yea but andre yang used old drivers. newer drivers give huge boost in 3D11 :>.
Lets look at the basics, DISREGARDING who will get points if its implemented.
It's a good bench for a GPU's to compete against eachother.
It equals out the scores between who has a good GPU, and who has an insane CPU. sure its kind of the same as heaven, but it will make the guys with insane cpu's less in the lead (so you cant just buy insane CPU and WIN hwbot). Which makes it more fair.
I really don't know why it's under discussion? FM benchmarks have always counted for points.. GLOBAL i mean.
And i dont think it's a SR2 only bench, you can compete well enough with a single CPU board, look at vantage, thats even MORE an SR2 bench and its for points.
