    3dmark released a patch today that avoids nvidias cheating in their benchmark, so all the reviews that used 3dmark need to rerun their tests.

      It's true a lot of reviewers have relied on futuremarks benchmark. For me and others it means nothing because its "too" synthetic and uncharacteristic of current games. But for others this means everything but then again, they've probably already know that. It's not everyday your "favorite" gpu drops 24% :P

      It's worth to note that ATI also "cheated" but they still correctly rendered the scene. All they had done was re-order the shader instructions so they were optimized for their architecture. It only boost their performance by 3% IIRC.

      The thing that doesn't make sense to me is from the couple of reviews I have read the new NVidia card outperforms the Radeon card on almost all the game tests. Not by much, but still a little bit.

      And yet when it comes to the 3D Mark test ATI Creams NVidia when that new patch is applied.

      To me that makes the 3DMark benchmark Very sus. The two possibilities I can see are NVidia's original complaints against the benchmark are justified, and yes they cheated to boost the score. OR 3DMark are bitter at NVidia and decided to release a patch that deliberatly made NVidia cards perform badly.

      Now I doubt it's the second, and maybe there is another possibility that I missed, but in the end I think that the new NV card does perform Extremely well in real world applications no matter what 3DMark says.

    to us if it contained such review compendia in itself, rather than making me go to 100 different sites to see them. It'd also be a way to counter the various technology zealotries that arise here. I'm willing to see these ads if the value of this site goes up commensurately.
