how do i get 3dmark01se to work with direct x 9.0b??
You need the 330 patch which adds DX9 support among other things.
..and if you’re going to bother with 3DMark at all, you may as well use Futuremark approved drivers. Otherwise, your results wouldn’t be valid anyway. In that case you might as well just pick a number and stick with it.

I see their point, but it’s still sucks.

Yeah. It sucks that Futuremark would have to establish those guidelines in the first place. Don’t video card manufacturers realize that we’re on to their cheap-ass driver hacks? It just makes them look stupid in the end. Right now the culprit seems to be Nvidia, but ATI has been just as guilty in the past.
