I was wondering if Tom's hardware reviewers had ever considered using Nascar Racing 2003 season by Papyrus/sierra to benchmark computers. I've played all of the cpu intensive games like commanche 4, and this one takes the cake. It is by far the most cpu and graphics card instensive game there is. I would recommend Tom's start using it to post benchmarks. The only thing that needs to be kept in line with it is that they always go to the same track with the same graphics options and same opponent cars drawn for relevancy purposes. If you turn up aa, aniso filtering, and all of the eye candy in this I highly doubt a P4 3.06 ghz could break 35 fps drawing 42 cars on the screen.
