so it runs through Steam?
Yes, which, imo only makes it better. Just go make sure you select "all software" on your library or you won't find it.
unless you are using a 15 year old Celeron chip and 64mb of ram there is no measurable penalty.Can anyone confirm if there is performance penalty for running Steam in background, and approximately what it is?

why does it make it better?...you don't want other programs running in the background when benchmarking
I highly doubt I'd see a difference visibly, but curious if Steam running affects the end score.
It does have a small impact on the end score, actually, from tests people have done. However there's a way to run it standalone I think even if you buy through Steam, you'd have to google to make sure though as I could be wrong.
Pylor, how does having further DRM beyond a simple activation key "only make it better"??
Valley and Heaven are better and free.
well the free versions of those are all you need. the free version of 3Dmark tortures you by making you run all the benchmarks just to get the firestrike score.Full version for free? Oh basic.... Kinda like 3dmark basic version
Running it through steam is nice for putting it on multiple machines and dealing with the cd key (atleast I'd imagine). Much easier to keep track of things, in my opinion, through the steam library. That and I get 7MB/s download speeds from them.

man wtf, I bought this the other day when it was 12 bucks.
Clearly you have money to waste if you spend $12 on an e-peen tool.
