Nvidia Accuses Futuremark Of Developing Unfair Benchmarks

Hehe this just gets funnier and funnier because the longer Nvidia drag's it out, the more stupid they look. Hey Nvidia, just get down to the local church and confuse your sins and stop that crap. Just like a spoiled kid that knows done wrong but they scream blue murder rather than tell the truth.
Now over to Xbitlabs.
Following yesterday's exposure of NVIDIA and ATI cheating in Futuremark's 3DMark03, News.com quoted an unnamed NVIDIA official who claims that Futuremark intentionally developed a benchmark that presented certain products of the Santa Clara California-based GPU and logic design firm in a bad light.
According to the representative, since NVIDIA was not part of the Futuremark Beta Program (a program which costs of hundreds of thousands of dollars to participate in), NVIDIA did not get a chance to work with Futuremark on writing the shaders like they would with a real applications developer. NVIDIA did not know what Futuremark had done, but they think the benchmark developer had intentionally tried to create a scenario that makes NVIDIA?s products look bad.

Anyone happen to know the name of that "representative"? Methinks Futuremark still needs that for their depositions...  |

"Hehe this just gets funnier and funnier because the longer Nvidia drag's it out, the stupider they LOOK! " "stupider"? Um, ok... |

Nvidia were caught out, its as simple as that. If they had stuck to DX9 spec and created a card that had acceptable PS2.0 performance then they wouldnt be in this mess. They have no one else to blame but themselves. They are behaving like spoiled children and need to grow up. Instead of all this passing the buck they are doing they should get on and make the NV40 the good card we hope it will be. Nvidia knew how good the 9700 was and had plenty of time to counter it, but they failed to do so. This means the NV35 is only any good performance wise at sub DX9 levels. Its not just 3dmark that shows up the NV35, it fails to perform in many pixel shader tests ( which nvidia drivers also cheat in ). 3DMark is an easy target for them. |
