This was just posted @ Futuremark! Here's the official statement:
Futuremark supports Microsoft WHQL
Since the release of 3DMark03, there has been some uncertainty about which drivers to use for impartial and useful benchmarking. Based on the feedback we have received from users worldwide, all official performance listings at www.futuremark.com will be derived entirely from results obtained with WHQL?d drivers.
Microsoft?s WHQL is an important program that guarantees reliability and consistent performance in users? daily computing needs. Futuremark endorses WHQL as a positive aspect of consumers? computing experiences and we officially support the use of Microsoft WHQL drivers.
To accommodate an enthusiastic community of users who wish to experiment and learn more about maximum performance of their hardware, Futuremark will also enable comparisons of results obtained by non-WHQL?d drivers. To ensure objectivity, benchmark results will be clearly separated between both categories.
