NVidia Accused of Inflating Benchmarks

Junky191 writes "With the NVidia GeForce FX 5900 recently released, this new high-end card seems to beat out ATI's 9800 pro, yet things are not as they appear. NVidia seems to be cheating on their drivers, inflating benchmark scores by cutting corners and causing scenes to be rendered improperly. Check out the ExtremeTech test results (especially their screenshots of garbled frames)."

you dick

it's BECAUSE of idiots like you who actually think it matters if card x gives 229fps on Quake III where card y can only manage 227fps that these companies are forced to pull this kind of trick. Companies like AMD, nVidia and ATi are trying to do business in a world where people actually place importance in the blatherings of the self-important know-nothings that run sites like Hard OCP and Toms Hardware.
