They know what they are doing. So do we. Producing simplistic 'benchmarks' that tell the user little, but help MS make a profit. If they can persuade people that they need better hardware, they can be 90% sure that this will result in another sale of their OS - most people don't upgrade isolated components, but by a new PC - with Windows installed.
Thy do not only run the test on MS hardware.

Read what I wrote - MS sell software. Please take your ridiculous pushing of this so called 'benchmark' elsewhere, and leave the discussion to people who know what they are talking about.

Why don't you goggle and find a report on how bad a tool by MS this is.

Most people take there PC to a shop to be upgraded.
With this tool thy know what hardware to upgrade with instead of some sales person that try and sell then things thay do not need. To run the new software thy are not able to run on there system.

What part of that do you not understand?

And I think you need to stop with the personal attacks.

I have a suspicion that there's an incompatibility between the latest hardware and CloD, the people who are complaining seem to have new gear, older gear seems to work better.

I suspect it is software (the drivers) rather than hardware that is the problem, though it does seem that some of the most recent hardware has problems. This isn't that surprising, as drivers for older hardware are likely to be more stable. CloD may be pushing new hardware further than most other applications do too. This should tend to resolve itself with time.

I don't know why a person That wants a "gaming computer" would spend alot of money on something he knows nothing about. It wouldn't make sence to take your computer to a salesman to get upgraded with "things" you don't need and pay for them and then take your computer home and run a test..And if you read my above post you might think twice about your real score and the score you could have.

From my first computer to the one i have now I read alot, Weeded out the post of people saying buy this and that and learned to take my own computer apart and knew what was compadable with what and how to optimize what i was working with not just the hardware. There are many free tools on websites that are virise free (checked daily) That can show you everything that is on your computer in detail and the temps there running on aswell as driver updaters, net connecton optimizers and scan for proformance problems....To me running a Benchmark score without knowing your computer first is unwise Because your getting results from a program thats based on your computer software/hardware running clean

Seriously I don't understand this thread at all, as it's been said a million times you cannot use win7 benchmark test as a viable way to make this game better for users..2 of the same machines would run this differently meaning it's a comnination of things that are causing problems..benchmarking will do little to help as already stated..

If you must use a BM program 3dMark Vantage or 11 would be adequate but I'm telling you now start a thread on that and get 50 people to test your better start a new forum cuz your need it..

Insane some of the things in here and I honestly thought we were smarter than that

Il give you a clue too...it's called game code, it's called optimisation and lastly everysingle machine in here would probably have different programs running using resources and 1 resource on 1 machine would give you a different grade to the other machine with the same hardware..

Now please can we just forget about this topic now and take our tinpot foil things whatever it is you guys harp on about and help others in another way.
