I'll trust you on the link being unsafe as I have no desire to test it on this computer. Since the OP is a long time member I'll leave this post for a potentially fixed link but I'll keep monitoring the thread.

1. It's not photoshopped, it was legit. The software is buggy and I think I have some driver issues.
2. My apologies if the link was unsafe. I uploaded to photobucket and just copied the link from there. I'll try again with imgur.

Yeah I didn't think you linked anything bad on purpose. If I did I would have just deleted the post. I was on a laptop I didn't want to risk so I just trusted what pauls3743 said and had to at least edit it out though.

I'm not sure why it's showing the 580 as on the higher end of VR ready. I suspect it's a bug more than I suspect they magically reduced the VR requirements though. :lol:

Yeah, thanks for trusting me.
Looking around online, apparently the software is really buggy. There are reports of 960's being capable and 290x's failing the test. So I'm not exactly surprised. I was just quite a bit confused when I saw my 580 outperforming 980's.

1). Fair enough if it was legit and it was your benchmark. I would've still said photoshop if it was something you found elsewhere.
2). I wish I had screenshotted the warning window I got up as the page was trying to run something. Whether it was the main website, or an ad, I wasn't going to take the chance and let it run or put others in danger by it. I've been stupid enough in the past to just accept it got and got an infection.
