I'm glad as hell to see FM doing something to try and spread the word, this along with their new red-lettered warning about un-approved drivers should at least honk some IHV people off if nothing else. 8) Good job FutureMark, I'm still rooting for you. :)

FutureMark's benchmarks are some of the most consistant around for me, I'm personally glad as hell that they're being a bit more proactive in defending the integrity of their benchmark. :) Besides, it's gonna drive nVidia NUTS! :lol:

It wouldn't be so bad if they finally got around to adressing the cheating (or rather, optimising) going on in 2K1. ATI started the ball rolling there and had a massive advantage in the final score over Nvidia because of how they optimised their shaders for the Nature test and, after a few months of getting hammered, Nvidia got wise and included their own optimisations in drivers. It seems that little or nothing was done about it then by Futuremark (or Madonion as they were known) but, even worse, nothing is done about it now. This is important because 2K1 is STILL used in the majority of reviews out there, alongside 2K3. It seems somewhat ironic that they'll allow optimisations in one program and not the other.
