Is 3DMark worth purchasing?

[kaneandtaker]

3DMark is now on sale at 66% off under Flash Sales. Is it worth it for $8.50? I have 3 more hours to decide.

If you want to benchmark, sure it is.

[looney]

i got my key for free from microcenter they where giving them away but no dont buy it unless you need it 

[Samdb]

I wouldn't buy it.

[LogicalDrm]

Thought same thing, but unless you do reviews or switch hw with short cycle, I don't see point. Basic performance run is enougt for me.

[CwGoh]

No need unless you benchmark often.

[virusal19]

Nope, unless you do benchmarks and reviews... often.

If you want it then get it.....but ask yourself this.....will you make us eof it in anyway....is it more of a self satisfaction thing when you see your two 680 just destroy basically everything in benchmark scores......if you end up wanting it then now is a good time to gte it....its a third of the normal price atm. But as the other said...if your not using it for benchmarks/reviews...then no...not worth it...

I just use free benchmarking software whether it be demos of it or full versions.  No way am I interested in spending money on this stuff and therefore I would say no 3dmark is not worth purchasing for me but hey to each his own.

Wouldn't buy it imo. Just use the trial version unless you think that default settings are not good enough and want to run it on extreme settings to show off your build to other users.

I personally think it is a waste, to purchase it
