Do you want to view results offline?

Seeing as there are a few people that are not happy about not seeing their Vantage results unless their online ( including me), I though I would post this poll here.

Do you want to view results offline like the "Professional Vantage" has and all previous 3DMark benchmarks before this one?

Yes this should be in the poll section but seems much more appropriate here.

try and read ALL the error and or bitching threads , its a full work day

I voted Yes al tho i will never use it

What is really sad is, that they claim it has always been like this

NO WAY !!

Im not to bothered about seeing the results offline, what would be handy is to actually be able to save the results to upload as and when i want to (like in 06 etc)

Nope... only the insanely overpriced version gets that feature now. Just like a free user, you can't even see your final score without going online,let alone save your result or see details. Oh yeah, FM really screwed the pooch on this one..

This is a good poll. Could everyone who voted please comment on why specifically they would have it the way they voted?

I'm aware of, for example, the extreme overclocking case, where you either won't have the network connection up, or the machine is not stable enough to submit. What other cases are there where local score viewing would be a must-have?

We think the ORB is a great user interface for viewing your score and comparing it against others, so we'd like to see concrete counter-examples where that's not enough.

I build and fix a lot of Gaming PC's to the tune of 3-5 per month, thats a lot considering it's not my full time job or anything... And generally I like to use a FM benchmark to check for performance and stability. Being able to see a score immediatly without having to connect to my network and upload results to view would be time saving and one less hassle for me. The room in which I work on and build the PC's does not have a internet connection and although its a small hassle, carrying the PC to my wired room or running a line throughout my house to get a functional score is a hassle none the less...

I simply want to run the benchmark and review the results without any further requirement(s) weither it be for my stated reason(s) above or just general usage.
