3d mark 03 not approved
I have just run my latest benchmark with 3d mark 03 build 3.4.0 and cat 4.3s
For some reason, whenever I upload this score, it tells me that the benchmark was not run with approved drivers or version of 3d mark. I downloaded the patch and it told me that the version was already 3.4.0 Has anyone seen this before and know how to fix it? EDIT: It now appears that none of my scores were run with approved drivers. WTF is going on at futuremark? They were all fine an hour ago. |

Ha, maybe they just decided that there are no drivers that are approved, and therefore the benchmark is useless. lol..

they could be making some changes to the "driver approved" system as omega's should work fine..... but arn't approved....

I just want to say this yhis, futuremark protection is ridiclous. They concentrate on drivers rather then on driver cheats. Instead, they should let community itself decide, based on experience, whats right or wrong. I sqeezed 15k with ti4200 in 3dmark2001. Let one do that in "best quality" D3D setting do that. So my score is valid, and based on my experience not on "valid" drivers...Other thing, futuremark resaults VARY SO much that I managed to get 12xx score for my single 80GB 2mb cache drive in PC mark2002. This is 1 out of 30 tests. score varies from 920 to 1300, for HDD test, this is large difference. What I am saying is these test , what ever protection, are not valid, but only a reference, my friend still tries to break my HDD score with his 80GB 8mb cache maxtor...I was just lucky ! And it's valid! So lets base our opinion from experience, not scores, scores only show one's capability to score, not his system performance...

Got an email from Futuremark tech support this morning saying that they checked the results and everything is fine. I logged on to take a look for myself and all is well now. It appears the 4.3s werent approved from Sunday night onward.
