I think this is signifigant, and am surprised that it hasn't stayed at the top.
nVidia went to review sites, trying to get them to publish cheats about Quake. Now ATi does it to nVidia with 3DMark03. Hmm... I hope this isn't a total reversal....
Basically for those that don't want to read the article, it says that if you rename the benchmark's .exe, and use Anisotropic filtering the performance hit is bigger. Meaning that Anisotropic filtering isn't used for 3DMark.exe with nVidia cards because of a driver cheat.
The 5800Ultra scores a full 1000 points lower with AF and the program renames to 3DMurk.exe.
:/
Edit: Oops.. didn't click that forum link up there.. maybe I should have before replying..
Me too. A bit-o-advice: I found the 30.82 set to be the last stable/decent/no-"surprises" set for me own GF4 ti4400.FiggyG said:Pretty typical.
I even got 2d errors with the latest drivers on my GF4....
