Hey,
I did a quick search but I didn't see anything related to what methods is used by techpowerup to get the results for WoW:WoD in their benchmarks.

I'm curious if it's using the /timetest command and using the flightpaths?
If so, does anybody know what flight path is being used?

Thanks for any replies!

All of the results,

I was wondering if the /timetest 1 command was used.
http://www.wowwiki.com/Taxi_Time_Test

If so I was asking what flightpaths are used for the results.

I was just curious as there is a difference between standing around idle in a low populated server in the main cities compared to a high population server.
The same thing with 5man dungeons and 20 man mythic raids with the increase in spell effects flying around.

We are using a flightpath indeed, which is the best compromise in my opinion. Not willing to reveal which FP

That's fine,
I understand the reasoning behind not wanting to reveal the specifics.

Thank you for the answer, keep the reviews coming. :p

Am I right that it's to prevent potential driver cheating by NVIDIA and AMD like we saw way back in 2003?
