Futuremark Releases Patch 330 For 3DMark03

Futuremark has now officially addressed the questions and confusion regarding 3DMark03 and results obtained with certain NVIDIA drivers. Futuremark has now established that NVIDIA's Detonator FX drivers contain certain detection mechanisms that cause an artificially high score when using 3DMark03. Futuremark has just released a patch (330) for 3DMark03 that defeats the detection mechanisms in the drivers and provides correct results.

Our own Lars is evaluating the 330 patch released by Futuremark and it's impact on results. Look for more from Lars on this topic soon.
