3dmark 2003 score, compare this!

nearly 200? he got 247, and he obviously did something fishy to get there. you can hack any benchmark you know, unless you see the test run yourself or know someone you trust did you might as well take it with a grain of salt.
 
Not only that, but look at his overall score and his scores on the 2nd and 3rd game. You don't get 250fps in game one and 7.4fps in games 2 and 3.
 
well his project name does include the sentence "nice little bug in 3dmark2003" wonder what the bug is

yeah.. i wonder what the bug is ;/ first I thought it's caused by R8500 BIOS on LE card.. but then I realize that I also using the same BIOS for my LE card LOL
 
This definatly doesnt say alot about using 3dmark as a benchmark anymore. Not that there was not enough contreversy (Spelling?) before this. Now you got a way to trick the system into giving more fps. Wonder if Ati will release a driver that does this soon 😛
 
Interesting that you should mention the Neowin bug...I've noticed this myself while I was checking my overclocking stability. I'd launch at some clockspeed to test for any immediate artifacts in Game 1, then abort the benchmark, increase the clockspeed, then test again. After I settled for the highest stable clockspeed, I ran the benchmark fully and submitted the score, but it'd report my initial clockspeed...
