3DMark still on Flash Sale!

Closed
Skylark

I noticed it when it was on flash sale, couple of hours ago. It had like 22 hours or something until the end of it, I figured they might fix it later but they haven't.

3DMark - 90%
About 19 hours left.

If you missed and want it, then go for it now! Who knows maybe they'll fix it soon!

Don't worry, it is just world's most popular benchmarking software.

I can :)
I never look at how much the sale is, I always ask myself, would I play it/use it for free? And many times the answer is no

+1, after my horrible summer shopping spree, I've been trying to stay calm and not instant purchase every good discount! lol
And I've been doing good so far! Only 2 purchases, both completely reasonable! :D

It's benchmarking software, it rates your computer based on how powerful it is. Kinda like putting your car on a dyno to measure its horsepower and torque.

That's not a website for benchmarking, it's a website of a software for benchmarking! lol
Oh yeah, 3DMark has a website too, freaky, ikr?!
and btw, Catzilla free version is only limited to 720p and you can't do full HD testing with it, you need to pay up.

For that price, I think you should buy The Bridge instead of a benchmark software. It just does nothing and means nothing. If you want to give your pc a stress test to check the stability, there are plenty of them like Prime95, OCCT. If you want to check your hardware configuration, there are tons of them like CPU-z, GPU-z, AIDA64. Benchmark software just show some number which doesn't reveal the real power of your PC. It is simply a waste of your money. Buy some high quality indie games instead of this one.

I got it yesterday thinking that it would allow me to do something useful like change some custom settings on my PC, but nope it just does different types of benchmarks and submits a score.

Seems like a waste of $2.50 to me, but if anyone can tell me how I can better make use of this software that would be great.

Keep shortcuts to it on your desktop and pinned on your taskbar so that you'll remember to find out what things are before you pay someone money for them.
