[break]There is a thread on the forum asking whether the results of an nVidia video card should be taken seriously. Futuremark has in a statement indicated that this bug has been fixed in build 330:[/break]Futuremark has prepared a second patch for 3DMark03, Build 330, where these preventative changes are implemented. We hope this will encourage the whole industry to release drivers that render the tests as 3DMark03 intends them to be rendered, and which produce results that can be fairly compared to those obtained with other hardware. It is possible that new drivers that cheat also in the new 3DMark03 build may be released in the future. We sincerely hope this will not happen. We strive to provide all BETA program members with robust tools to detect such situations.
