..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 got a 3DMark score of 23,000,000!"
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.
