News 3DMark to gain Lucid Virtu MVP detection

3DMark is to gain detection of Lucid's Virtu MVP technology following concerns of artificially inflated scores.

SO have Lucid made any good products yet? AKA, is the Hydra any good yet?

 

3d mark died when Mad Onion called themselves Futuremark

 

Yes!

 

Forgive me for just skim-reading the article, but surely a rig that has better performance in 3D games should get a higher score in a 3D games benchmark?
To make a rather tenuous analogy, if the well-known jampotpmark2010 test involved rendering a scene with a particularly large number of tesselations, would it be right to disqualify a rig which ran directx-11 rather than directx-10?

 

I'm pretty sure the ridiculously high scores posted on the orb are as a result from disabling the actual rendering, Making the test purely CPU bound, or something like that.
