I have nothing against PCMark.
I just added 3 most popular 'benchmarks' on LN2. I couldn't come up with one every single bencher uses (and didn't want to use like 20 - too much pointless work), but most either bech 2D (surely SPi 1M in this case) or 3D (3DM Vantage usually), and some also come up with max validation.
Not many play with PCMark Vantage for some reason (expensive storage systems I guess).
I think both Vantage benchmarks cause similar CPU stress levels, with 3DMark being more popular. So I opted for that.
Your right - not that many use pcmark vantage, 3dmark is probably fine.
I do think pcmark vantage is gaining in popularity - its a better measure of all around pc performance - but the fact that you have to pay for it is holding in back, same for 3dmark vantage but perhaps to a lessor extent. Also it takes longer to run pcmark - people don't like to wait.
