For benchmarking my CPU/platform and video card I use every single 3D game I own that also has built-in benchmarks with it. After all, the number one reason why I upgrade my computer is for games.

I Avoid 3dmark like the plague. One of the most hyped, exploited, over rated, and useless benchmarks out there. Even if you can't provide documented difinitive proof of the exploitation, we all know the manufactures and software designers "optimize" for this benchmark. makes it completely useless for anything other then bragging rights.
