Derek, you guys might be famous, but that's not such a great thing if you're famous for being wrong. I'd really be interested to see what you can say to refute the points Kyle brings up in this article.
Canned benchmarks might be repeatable, but what's the point of that when people are buying video cards to play games? When the 3870x2 beats an 8800 GTX in timedemo benchmarks, but is considerably slower in actual gameplay, what benefit are your readers getting by reading your results?
I think this is a big problem in the industry right now. AMD and NVIDIA focus too much resources on getting their numbers higher in canned benchmarks to the detriment of their performance in actual gaming applications. Kyle has shown that this is misleading to consumers, and I hope you can do better than just brushing him off.
