[citation][nom]sleepflower[/nom]I see photoshop CS5, but that really doesn't task the CPU quite like After Effects does. Most people I know use Adobe After Effects for work and would love to see a benchmark made to show which setups are best. We may not be able to download the program from you, but you could give us a folder of the project files to run our own tests on our work machines.[/citation]

I second this. I am legally running Production Premium CS5 and would love to see some results with that.
 
I'll summarize some I've seen others mention and I'll add my own:
-Crystalmark 2004R3, ALU and FPU score http://crystalmark.info/software/CrystalMark/index-e.html
-An RTS game
-Flight Simulator X
-Some sort of Folding@home benchmark for SMP.
-BFBC2
-We'd also like to see an area on the site where we can download and run the entire suite ourselves, rather than having to hunt down everything listed. More details on the settings used for the benchmarks would also be useful.
 
Would like to see some benchmarks with ProTools, considering it is the industry standard for Audio Mixing it would be silly not to include it. Running PT with a whole heap of pluggins can be very demanding!

I want to see more WoW benchmarks, especially with the latest changes. WoW now takes advantage of all 8 "cores" on my Core i7. The last WoW benchmarks I've seen were back when the game only used 2 threads, regardless of how many cores the machine had. (That was patch 1.14, after that, if you had the cores and manually edited the config.wtf, you could use up to 4 cores, and the latest patch, 4.0.1 works with up to 8 and maybe more. This game is constantly evolving and needs to be included.)
 
I'd like to see more testing of music creation software. including pro-tools, reason,ableton, or cubase. Also the effects of rtas effects and vst effect suites. secondly I'd like to see more test with virtualization applications as well.
 
I would like to see more RPG games tested as that is what I play most.. Also L4D2. But games like Fallout 3, Dragan Age, The Witcher.. things like that..
 
Cmon, guys! There are loads of games and synthetic tests already in this lineup. Please add some tests for programmers, for example .NET or Java compilation time. This sort of tests is not present at all!
 
What about a multi-application benchmark? For example, a web browser (streaming a video), office outlook, word, and a 3D intensive program like CAD software. I know that's a little out of the ordinary, but I'd really like to see what multi-core processors perform the best.
 
Hi Chris,
I have i7-920 and very few games make use of 8 cores.
Therefore I usually run games with Hyperthreading disabled, and showing 4 cores.
I notice you do not and have never addressed this issue...?
Why not?
Also in game testing, my minimum frames should never go below 60 FPS.
Typically in your testing, your average framerate is less than 60 FPS, and you don't talk about minimums. Why not?
Why do you use such crazy high settings, and then report 23 FPS average etc?
I'm sure lots of folks agree with me, below 60 FPS is unacceptable in shooters.
Regards
