Mine says D70000 or so that would be around 19 hours. What happened to the OWND part that is mentioned in this thread?

I'm not sure if you'd seen, but every countdown ends with a new letter, at which point it resets. So far, those are the letters, apparently in order.

Do you guys really care that much about this program? It's just eye candy that runs like crap on most systems.

There's a thread in the hot deals forum where DeviousTrap has posted 3 mirrors for as well. Said it's only for AT use, so I figure it's okay to post the link to the thread here since it's still on the AT site. His servers are quick too... I've been dl'ing for about 10 minutes and I'm 65% done.

I'm just saying, it's up EVERYWHERE, people don't necessarily have to get it from the four damned places already listed here.

1- Faster, less crowded servers provided by fellow AT members.
2- You click and download (no need to wade through queues or ad laden pages)

Great. Another program to make people obsessively neurotic about their video card performance. I've solved a lot of my performance problems by just concentrating on whether my games play well or not, not on whether I'm getting xxxxxx numbers in 3dmarkxx.
You get xxxxxx score in 3dmarkxx?? Well, good for you! So... how many pushups can you do?

I don't worry much about my score, but i like to know that it is performing close to the average, especially after installing a new part, since playing games often doesn't reveal problems.
