| if I were to build a game/benchmark I would not exclude people because their choice differs from others, but rather give the option for both groups.

| Choices have to be made, and the standard aspect screens are a quickly dying breed, so if one has to choose, this is the logical choice. |

http://www.steampowered.com/status/survey.html Dying breed? I think not. 3DMark Vantage only supporting 16:9 for high end runs is not thinking forward, it's thinking with blinds and ignoring the majority of people. but hey... ignorace is bliss right? If you think 16:9 is the standard, than I guess it must be right? ya? .... nope Quote:

| Sorry Jmke, not misinformed at all : it's not what people are using today that matters, it's what they'll be using in the future. Just how many normal aspect monitors are still listed by the average pc-shop ? Or included in a new PC-package ? |
