That's not short.
Starcraft 2, download a replay with lots of action. Load replay, win.
You can probably remove older games like Far Cry 2 and a few others off your list to make room for newer games. Id hesitate to remove Valve games since so many people play their games on the same engine. But stuff like LP2 and Hawx2, do ppl even play that these days in any meaningful numbers?
How many people still play the original Crysis? Or Crysis 2 for that matter. Metro 2033 hasn't sold many copies this year yet it offers awesome visuals and there will be a sequel. ANY game months after it launches wanes quickly in popularity. Gamers always move onto the next game. Yet everyone also plays niche games and games they like and some prefer bargain bin and older games with maxed out IQ.
If i wanted to do "popular", i'd bench MW3. But it isn't demanding like BF3 is.
The idea of benching many games is to give an idea of a card's overall ability to handle many kind of games and game engines. If i only bench the very latest games, we will only know how a certain card handles them - and there are tech sites that specialize in just new games - maybe 5 or 6 total. Do you think that is representative of a card's overall abilities?
There will be a Far Cry 3 probably based on that same Dunia engine. FC2 has very nice visuals and one of the very best created benchmarks anywhere.
My *goal* is to have more and better benches. Unfortunately, they take a lot of time to create and time is of the essence; especially when i am backed up with *committed* reviews until CES. Then it starts all over again.
apoppin, quit posting and get that preview of yours up.
OK, break's over here - i'm back to work. Looks like i'm writing until early tomorrow AM, now
