I'd like to SOME guru make a racing sim a benchmark for hardware. To
me, it's more indicative of the performance of a piece of hardware in
my gaming genre than the DOOM or UT benchmarks. Those are games that I
don't play and have no concept of what frames they need/should be
getting. Telling me that UT at 800x600x16 get 120 fps means nothing.
Why would you run a game at that screen res anyway, other than BM'ing?
Telling me that at 1280x1024x32 that Doom3 gets 56 fps also means
little to me as 56 fps there might only be 30 in GTR.

Show me/Tell me that "Title X" is cpu dependant, or "Title Y" is GPU
heavy and why, and then run a BM at a screen res that ppl. actually
use. At least that give some indication of the difference in hardware
performance.

Is there a way (as a group, "Sim Racers") that we can get ahold of some
review factory and ask them to include a racing title in their
benchmark battery? SOMEONE here must "know" someone....
