they call themselves Futuremark due to how their benchmarks are to predict how Future games will work on hardware.

if a game was built on one of futuremarks engines (like the first demo for example) who in their right mind would play it. they have a few new features shown off, that eat up every resource your PC has, while the things that matter (eye candy) are nonexistent.

its one thing to do a synthetic test to measure a particular speed something can be handled. its another to say this is what games will look like, then show off crap.

if benchmarks are so important, skip the gpu and cpu tests, and go right to the little bonus synthetic tests they have that no one cares to post results on.
