Run it twenty times and take a rounded average however...Originally posted by: Jeff7181
Looks like a bunch of BS to me... they're showing the 9800XT scores changing by only 1 point... that's HIGHLY unlikely... run 3DMark twice in a row without changing ANYTHING and I guarantee you won't come within 1 point of the previous test.

Precisely why is it BS? Just because it's unlikely to get a score within 1 point of the previous test in your experience doesn't make that true. Ideally, it should ALWAYS give the same result within a certain margin of error. Whether this is the case or not is irrelevant. Just look at how much the 56.12 drivers lose when the 3DM03 333 patch is used (which supposedly disables the 'optimizations' that nVidia uses) vs the 330 patch.

Nvidia is guilty till proven innocent in my mind. How many cheats does that make this year for Nvidia? - 12 at least?
No surprise here, Nvidia does not have just hardware for sale. It has sold it's integrity and their souls for a few fps. What a mess!!

What I think is funny is that people think any of this is "cheating."

Hello Insomniak,
So honesty is not important to you? -Reality does not matter? Accountablity is not important? The world is imperfect - it is up to us to try and improve it. Are you always this cynical?
It should be noted that it still doesn't work... it still detects my FX5900 with a GPU speed of 200 mhz and a RAM speed of 936 or somethin like that.Incorporates new version of the Entech library (used to detect the clock frequency of the graphics chip core and memory)
Yes, I'm always this cynical. It helps me to be always this right.
People talk about cynicism as if it isn't the truth. Oh well. Nice guys finish last.
As for reality, accountability - that's basically a bunch of mumbojumbo. .
