That is all you would need to do to achieve a benchmark on specific hardware. My point is you would get different results on similar setups using the game as a benchmark due to it's performance issues which is obviously code related and how the engine handles that code.
I've tested this myself on 2 same computers, my old man has the same comp, even down to the case and cooling..the only thing different was the mouse ad keyboard and make of monitor (not resolution) and both produced different results with. +/- 10 Fps, so the only thing different would be programs running in BG though none were resource hogs..
People won't have barebone systems to run these sorts of tests so they wouldn't help in trying to isolate hardware issues..
You can benchmark your own system to determine what works best for you but to do any type of viable worthwhile benchmarking/testing whatever you want to call it would be futile giving:
A/ The way the games engine is handling code (to put it simply) Inc memory issues and even if that wasn't the case you woulnt.....
B/ Have a community with barebone systems willing to do such comprehensive tests
