I'm sure you're all aware of the Game-o-meter tool based on benchmarks such as PCMark, 3DMark, etc:

That however only takes into consideration 'normal' gameplay, i.e. 2D.
Since in 3D you get a 30-40% framerate drop, any game that runs at, say, 35 FPS in 2D can easily become unplayable when switching to 3D.
So is there a similar tool that takes into consideration 3D performance? If not, would be nice for nVidia to implement something like a 'correction factor', e.g. "the recommended specs are GTX 295 & Intel i7 920 in 2D, which equates to GTX 470 & Intel i7 950 in 3D".
