but dont forget 3dmark05 favours intels because of hyperthreading so that would mean they also put some on cpu and not just video. so as long as his cpu is good he'll get half decent scores
It doesn't favour Intel, it favours Multi-Tasking, which Intel excells in Everybody does Multi-Tasking, it is a great thing to test for and in. Just because AMD is crap and Multi-Tasking doesn't mean Intel is favoured, it means AMD is useless and can't handle Multi-Tasking
