    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.
