 |  Next 3DMark Info Current 3DMark03 Approved Drivers The objective of Futuremark benchmarks is to enable objective performance comparison between various IHVs hardware. In order to achieve this, we have specified a set of rules that a driver must fulfill in order for us to recommend it for 3DMark03 usage. Below is a list of the latest drivers that fulfill the rules. Futuremark recommends the following WHQL drivers to be used for dependable benchmarking with 3DMark03 Build 340: ATI CATALYST DRIVERS Latest Approved WHQL Drivers: » ATI Catalyst 4.4 Drivers - WinXP » ATI Catalyst 4.4 Drivers - Win2000 » ATI Catalyst 4.3 Drivers - WinME Note: Microsoft no longer accepts certification submissions for the WinME operating system. The Catalyst 4.3 Driver is the latest WHQL WinME Driver for the Radeon Series. MATROX PARHELIA DRIVERS Latest Approved WHQL Drivers: » Matrox 1.04.02.007 Drivers - WinXP » Matrox 1.04.02.007 Drivers - Win2000 NVIDIA FORCEWARE DRIVERS Latest Approved WHQL Drivers: » NVIDIA ForceWare 52.16 Drivers - WinXP » NVIDIA ForceWare 52.16 Drivers - Win2000 Please note: the 52.16 drivers have 3DMark03 specific optimizations for the Feature Pixel Shader 2.0 test and that specific score is solely comparable between NVIDIA cards. It does not affect the Game Test 4 result though both use PixelShader 2.0. Special Approval: Futuremark has reviewed the ForceWare 60.72 drivers for the GeForce 6800 Series graphics cards at NVIDIA's specific request. We found that the 60.72 drivers used with the GeForce 6800 Series fulfill the optimization guidelines for 3DMark03 Build 340. Please note that the ForceWare 60.72 drivers are approved only for the GeForce 6800 Series graphics cards, and any future approved WHQL drivers will replace the 60.72 non-WHQL drivers. SIS XABRE DRIVERS Latest Approved WHQL Drivers: » SiS Xabre 3.10 Drivers - WinXP » SiS Xabre 3.10 Drivers - Win2000 » SiS Xabre 3.10 Drivers - WinME Tested official WHQL Drivers: » ATI Catalyst 3.9, 3.10, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 Drivers » Matrox 1.04.02.007 Drivers » NVIDIA ForceWare 52.16, 53.03, 56.64, 56.72 Drivers » SiS Xabre 3.10 Drivers » XGI Volari-Reactor 1.01, 1.02 Drivers For further information, list of older driver versions and notes about the drivers; please look here: http://www.futuremark.com/community/drivers/?approved
