Futuremark launches site for gamers

THE PUBLISHER OF THE WELL known 3DMark, PCMark, SPMark and other synthetic benchmarks announced that it is taking a step up from its former role and will create a game site that offers several services.

Most notable is a substitute for certain unprecise benchmark code that comes with Windows Vista. The boys at Redmond certainly didn't work too hard on that - my Athlon 64 X2 5200+, Kentsfield 2.66 GHz and dual dual-core Opterons have the same performance index.
