The loading time to  start the benchmark and to show the score is very high. 

That's the worst update I have seen. 

Extreme overclockers can't keep many time waiting to run, that's really bad for stable sequence of benchmarks. 

I like the new way to show information but I'm really disappointed with the very long time waiting. 

That's only my personal opinion. 

We are dependant the direction 3Dmark takes Ronaldo, not much we can do about it but to explain it to Pasi if they can make it faster or do a CPU Extreme systeminfo check or such

Is the new 3dmark update mandatory?

If we want to keep valid verifications yes it will be mandatory in 2021

for 3dm link must be "VALID"?

It's all in the rules... Firestrike not, all the rest yes, they need to be fully UL hall of fame compliant.
