new version of 3dmark03

[dropadrop]

Futuremark updated the program. From now on you can only publish scores done with varified drivers. Seems ati scores stay static, and nvidia scores dropped by about 1000. (fx5950)

You think Nvidia would have learned after the first time they got caught. :rolleyes:

Glad to see Futuremark is improving the validity of their benchmark though.

Looks like Nvidia have been caught with their hands in the cookie jar again...lol....

It seems it came down again by just about as much as what it went up after the last incident. :)

maybe they have done it again but u dont know if ATi are paying futuremark to make them not use them drivers

[Th0r]

No, because if futuremark did that and the public found out...they would of lost more money than gaining....
