I thought it was quite lackluster, the first demo doesnt really look like a big step up from the first demo of 06(except the cloth stuff), Im just wondering where all the performance went since crysis looks head and shoulders better than it and runs several times faster as well.

Not impressed at all. For one there is no 'DEMO' version with sound that one can sit back watch and enjoy all the wile stress testing your rig. It shows ads at the bottom of the screen even though I have the advanced edition. On top of that Adobe flash player causes it to crash with all the friggin ads. All in all it felt like I installed a program full of viruses and malware. It even makes you install PHYSX drivers on your rig even if you don't need them.

Pile of crap imo. 06 was the last of FutureMarks good benchmark programs. Don't bother trying this one, waste of time and money.

I have to register to get a key before I can run the benchmark? That seems more than a little ridiculous
