Futuremark, the makers of the benchmark series, 3DMark , have accused graphics chip manufacturer nVidia of cheating its benchmark scores.

Futuremark claim that nVidia have hidden certain mechanisms into their chips which detect when a benchmark is being run and artificially warp the score. Consequently they have released a patch to counter these effects which drops the score of an nVidia powered system by an average of 24%.

nVidia recently withdrew from Futuremarks BETA program, a program that essentially funds Futuremark, which nVidia claim is the motive behind a vendetta campaign against them.

A representative at Nvidia questioned the validity of Futuremark's conclusions. "Since Nvidia is not part of the Futuremark beta program (a program which costs of hundreds of thousands of dollars to participate in), we do not get a chance to work with Futuremark on writing the shaders like we would with a real applications developer," the representative said. "We don't know what they did, but it looks like they have intentionally tried to create a scenario that makes our products look bad."

Futuremark have compiled a dossier outlining their claims and have posted it on the web in PDF format.<a href="http://www.futuremark.com/companyinfo/3dmark03_audit_report.pdf"> View the audit report </a>

Futuremark, the makers of the benchmark series, 3DMark , have accused graphics chip manufacturer nVidia of cheating its benchmark scores.

Futuremark claim that nVidia have hidden certain mechanisms into their chips which detect when a benchmark is being run and artificially warp the score. Consequently they have released a patch to counter these effects which drops the score of an nVidia powered system by an average of 24%.
