3DMark03 Patch 330

Thanks Adek for this update! Futuremark is pleased to announce the release of a new version of 3DMark®03 - Patch (330)!

3DMark03 v3.3.0 is an updated version of 3DMark03. Hardware review sites discovered deliberate cheats in some drivers. These drivers identify 3DMark03 build 3.2.0, and render the tests differently than 3DMark03 instructs, in order to gain additional performance. Build 3.3.0 has been changed so that the test results remain the same, but the questionable drivers do not identify 3DMark03 anymore. The drivers now think 3DMark is a 3D application among others, and render the tests like 3DMark instructs. This produces a result that is genuinely comparable to other hardware.

Futuremark encourages everyone to download the latest patch (330) to ensure comparable results.
