I NEVER use it as reference for buying a new card. I prefer real game tests.

As a hardware reviewer I think that benchmarks are releasing too often. If I want to use this 3DMark for upcoming tests I need to retest all older cards. Also it haven't many updates - older test is good enough at the moment. That is why I will use 3DMark 11 for a long time (until next gen DirectX appears).

Yeah, it seems to under rate my 480. Also trying to decide if it favors faster cpus. A 570 shouldn't be that much faster than my card, so just not sure about this one.
