NVidia caught cheating?
Well, well, well... lookie what we found here!
The guys over at extemetech.com have found something VERY interesting!
Our GameGauge suite tests with eight real games, while Futuremark's benchmark uses four synthetic games (Game 1 through 4) that emulate real-world products, but is specifically designed for benchmarking 3D cards. You can read more about Futuremark's benchmark in our detailed analysis from last February.
It turns out, though, that the disparate 3DMark03 scores may have a different root cause: our test results seem to indicate that nVidia is boosting its 3DMark game test scores by cutting corners in the 44.03 DetonatorFX driver we used for testing.
