We need more cannon fodder, so if you are or know Über C++ coders or 3D artists this might interest you:

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Jobs @ Futuremark you forgot to mention the last point:
;P
You have excellent oral and written skills in Finnish and English
;P
Learning finnish is really easy :)
Seriously, these boards have also quite a few finnish ppl too, so... also someone might know someone etc... we're fishing everywhere to get the best possible talent - those ppl rarely surf on monster.fi website... forums like this are usually good way to reach potential people.

But i guess you somehow also must be willing to produce content which can't be watched seriously on most systems?! ;O)
Is Finnish anything like Swedish? If so I'll study The Muppet Show.. ;P
Does it count that I can drink like a Finnish? :p

:) You're talking about 3DMark - which is a benchmark. It has to be heavy for obvios reasons... but we dot a LOT of other stuff too that most ppl don't usually even know about:

Okay...hmm no offence but regarding your benchmarks i personal made the experience that first i liked them a lot as it was fun a) to watch them and b) get a number out and optimize a bit here and there, retry....
But now i'm no longer interested in the benchmark as it's of no use for me anymore. It's a) simply running way too slow on my systems and b) i dislike that you redid some scenarios. Fresh scenarios are mostly more interesting than just pumping up the polys/effects on them.
Maybe i'm wrong on this but this is a problem at least i see for the product that there is such a wide gap between the slowest and the fastest system (also for chips which are sold today) that the percentage of users should be getting smaller.
We already discussed that you've mentioned that one should use an older benchmark for this but as i argued in this discussion a) this is not a good comparison between theses sytems, b) an older benchmark doesn't utalize newer slower hardware this well and c) no fun for me as someone who is watching this.
This leads me to the conclusion that from my point of view you should change your concept and offer a benchmark which allows this.
Why am i typing this? Dunno... ;O)
