    Still down, so much for 3DMark.
    Does anyone know of any good benchmarking alternatives?
    I'm looking at FurMark or POV Ray, but I remember hearing another one mentioned around here that was supposed to be equivalent to 3DMark.

    Thats what I hate about futuremark. I was benching a PC before an upgrade just to compare but Futuremark site was down. Then I realized you can save the result and submit it later. Either way still annoying.

    I do have the saved 3DR's, but I'm not sure how to load them (I think you need the full version of 3DMark). Anyways as if on cue, service.futuremark.com is back on-line. Grrr, now to recreate the perfect testing environment I had before.

    you don't need the full version. Just need same version 3DMark, right click anywhere in the 3DMark window (not titlebar) and select 'submit saved result'.
