I'm looking forward to this. 3DMark has grown stale and even more meaningless than before. Am I off base? Pun intended

I think they need a benchmark to be able to repeatably replicate the characteristics of MS Flight Simulator. Especially, the enormous amount of video memory used for both meshes and textures. This is actually somewhat easier than might be assumed if they make heavy use of procedural generation techniques. What I mean by that is they shouldn't model all of those buildings and the terrain because then you'll need a multi-DVD-sized download. They need to generate the terrain and buildings in code. The textures also need to be generated and that's easier because they can just replicate a few but they have to generate many GBs of textures just like FS uses. Terrain and buildings can be randomly generated and textured easily. That's been done for many years. They could be smart about it and let you specify how much memory it uses for textures and meshes and let you vary detail levels. I think this could be very interesting.

Basemark is founded by a few ex Futuremark folks 🙄

I enjoy 3DMARK. Whenever I build a new rig, or buy a new gpu, it enables me to see the base score before any overclocking and the result after overclocking. I don't use it to try and top any list or try to be the big dawg on the porch like other users do.
