Is there any talk of adding FurMark to the line-up of GPU benches ??

Pretty interesting, but isn't it too specific?
Do we really need more benchmarks?

+easy interface
+freeware
+online comparo & verification tool

-OpenGL (ATI<>NV drivers differ a lot here)
-current version is cheat-able

didnt actually think about the "cheatability" of it , oh well its fun to watch lol

opengl should not be a negative point, imho.

If ATI sucks in opengl rendering, they should improve their product. OpenGL is used in many applications and is the only good cross platform 3d rendering framework.

If a cheatfree version comes out, we should consider it!

What about the competition (or whatever it's called) mode?
If everyone must enter all his data and both cpu-z gpu-z validation ID's it can be pretty safe I think.
What "bothers" me is that they already have a score page here: http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/furmark_scores.php

competition mode does not prevent being able to trick the application that time is passing more slowly ;)
which results in a higher score. they need to fix this ala 3Dmark03
