3DMark03 Patch

Post by Derek »

Futuremark released a patch yesterday for the popular 3D Benchmark app 3DMark03. The patch specifically addresses the issue of misleading scores when using certain NVIDIA drivers.

From Futuremark's site:
Saratoga, California USA – May 23rd, 2003

3DMark®03 incorporates many ground breaking new features and technologies and sets the standard for easily and objectively measuring and comparing modern PCs’ 3D graphics performance. Recently, there have been questions and some confusion regarding 3DMark®03 results obtained with certain NVIDIA drivers.

We have now established that NVIDIA’s Detonator FX drivers contain certain detection mechanisms that cause an artificially high score when using 3DMark®03. We have just published a patch 330 for 3DMark03 that defeats the detection mechanisms in the drivers and provides correct results.
