More on Futuremark and nVidia

Posted by michael on from the sweeten-the-pot dept.

AzrealAO writes "Futuremark and nVidia have released statements regarding the controversy over nVidia driver optimzations and the FutureMark 2003 Benchmark. "Futuremark now has a deeper understanding of the situation and NVIDIA's optimization strategy. In the light of this, Futuremark now states that NVIDIA's driver design is an application specific optimization and not a cheat."" So nVidia's drivers are optimized specifically to run 3DMark2003... and that's not a cheat.

    I must admit that though I am not an avid PC Gamer the last round of information was in my head when I selected a video card this weekend for my mythtv box. I did end up going with an nvidia and am very glad I did. I was amazed with the driver for linux nividia supplied. It could not have been easier. Plus the ability to set bios options on the TV rather then lug down a 17" monitor is nice but that may be a standard feature of graphics cards with S-Video out.
