Apparently a lot of people do. And I sure hope this gets closed so people won't have to regurgitate what they posted 100 times over all ready.

I for one dont care, nvidia and ati could put hacks in 3dmark to give you a score of 1,000,000,000. still would not bother me as long as REAL game ran well on either card.

Exactly,gamers buy video cards to play games not how fast benchmarks are,bottom line is stability has a higher priority for me then some stupid benchmark,if you want to benchmark use real games on your own PC .

What's more interesting is how the fx5900 scores drop so fast for "real" games when run on custom timedemos and flybys instead of the standard ones nvidia was expecting reviewers to use.

True, but it's still sad to see how badly my favorite GPU company has stumbled -- "Say it ain't so, Joe!"

<-- using a Geforce3 now, a Geforce2 before that

If "cheating" does not degrade image quality to the point that it's noticable then that's fine.
