What does this tell us.... That Futuremark has been bought and 3dMarkVantage is useless.

Interesting. Optimizing drivers for a benchmark. That's fail even if it's win!

Dah! Beat me to it.

The purpose (which is using the term loosely) of 3DMark is to realistically simulate a card's perfomance in the real world. By taking this one application and optimising performance to bloat the score as much as possible defeats the purpose of said application while at the same time proving how crappy the good people of Nvidia can be. Sadly, it'll probably work since Joe Blow will see 10K in Vantage and be like "ZOMG I NEED one of these cards!!!!!!!".

It's similar to when someone posts benchmarks of an Nvidia card blowing the doors of an ATi card in the (heavily optimised for Nvidia) Crysis benchmark. You don't say?

Although I'll stand behind one of their video cards any day of the week, some of the recent Nvida activities have done nothing but make them seem like morons.
