Futuremark Replies to Nvidia's Claims
Nathan writes "Tero Sarkkinen, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Futuremark, has commented on the claims by Nvidia that 3DMark2003 intentionally puts the GeforceFX in bad light, after Nvidia had declined becoming a member of Futuremark's beta program. This issue looks like it will get worse before it gets better." ATI also seems to be guilty of tweaking their drivers to recognize 3DMark.
actually, the upside is that you are a lamer.
Why don't you go back to your basement and continue downloading Linus porn while working on a shitty version of a project that Microsoft did 10 years ago.
Oops, I meant "pathetic", not "funny". My bad.
Cripes, all of a sudden they suck ass. Why? because they are successful, and slashdot hates any company that does well. For the same nonsense reasons you filthy fucking hippies hate Microsoft - because they are good at what they do and because they make money.
"Make money" is what the rest of the world does when they get a "job" because they have "skills." Do a google search if you don't understand any of this. Hint: Linux isn't involved in any of it.
Do you filthy fucks hate Ford? Wal-Mart? I bet you do, as you drive your shitty broken-down Kias to some Mom & Pop store where you pay twice as much, which is really stupid since you don't have any money. Other than the cash you make sucking dick in the alley before you log on for the day and spend the rest of your time spanking off looking at picture of Linus Dickvolis.
and if your nVidia card had a dick, you'd suck it.
I am an employee at Nvidia, and you have my word: We are NOT cheating on 3dmark2003. What we ARE doing is performing some simple optimizations to make the benchmark run as intended on our cards. This is in no way cheating since developers do this all the time. If you want to call what we are doing cheating then everyone who has ever used the "-O" flag in gcc is also a cheater.
Why is ATI complaining so much? The fact is that our cards are just better than theirs. ATI's cards are built on a backwards architecture that is impossible to optimize for. This is why you don't see ATI performing the same tweaks as us. An Nvidia developer can spend an hour to get a 40% performance increase, but it takes ATI weeks to get less than a 2% performance increase. You do the math.
they're just stupid video cards. NOBODY will ever notice any speed or feature difference between two cards from the same generation. Get a life morons.
Video card manufacturers have ALWAYS rigged their drivers to cut corners on the known benchmarks+games because people are so stupid that they buy one card based on some silly made up benchmark number printed on the box rather than based on which one is cheaper or has a better set of outputs.
ummm I just wanted to say Doom Quake and most of ID shooters are all brawn and NO brain only one with brains are the duesex guy i think his name is spector something as far as carmack goes hes a very skinny geek with alot of money & dreams to go to the moon hehe Peace.
