You do get GPU and CPU score. For game tests, the GPU score can be used for comparing different tweaks and individual tests (or CPU score for 5th test and both for 6th).
who says it doesnt have to use a specific preset but without needing to run a complete run. surely the program can be designed to detect change of preset if a bencher decided to get smart............

anyways since you guys are interested in overclockers all of a sudden and what they want perhaps you should start entertaining this idea again because i am confident you will see an incredible show of hands in you put up a poll here asking if we'd be interested in a bench like that.
