Will this benchmark be added to the official testing suite?

It kinda angers me. I already paid for the benchmark entirely, why do I need to buy an additional benchmark for it? If they wanted to charge for it they should have made it a separate version all together, they basically lied when they said it's free for current users. It's not. Anyone can get the free version. Not one person gets the paid one for free

Anyone interested to see what a Pro-Duo can score? Once I replace my PSU that just died.
You paid for the previous benchmarks, if they keep releasing new benchmarks for free they'll be out of business fairly soon.

^^this. While I do find it odd that they would add dlc to 3dmark, it would have been better had they just released a fresh new stand alone benchmark for DX12.

Which is why I said it should have been a separate one entirely. Adding it to everyone's DLC list on steam and then inside the client advertise for buying it, is very annoying. Sure a single banner at the top that says buy the new DX12 benchmark would be fine, but anymore is annoying. Hence again the need for them to have put it in a separate client.
What's the difference between having to pay for a benchmark as a DLC or as a standalone version. It just makes things less organized. Idk what you mean by "Adding it to everyone's DLC list on steam", my DLC list shows the DLCs i own, not the ones i can buy. It's not like they bombard you with popup messages telling you to buy their new DLC, there isn't anything telling you to buy the full benchmark before you bother to click on custom run.

SKU'ing in steam is more complicated than you would think, bare in mind there are effectively 3 products.
1) Everyone 'free' version
2) Everyone who bought before free version, granted by previous purchase. This will likely be in a 'bundle'
3) Full version sku, out of bundle
It will have been done the way it is for a reason, and I imagine that reason is because of something in Steam, not in 3DMark. Steam entitlements are really complicated, and that's not something that anyone not at steam can change.

I'd imagine a separate benchmark would have been easier for them, but having one program with lots of benchmark tests has got to be more preferable for the end user/bencher/reviewer than lots of little programs.

This crashes with my rig
I got a mid range gaming Rig with a 6600K and GTX970 but this always crashes. What might be causing it?

Check your drivers, validate the program, and double check your overclocks if you have any.
