   | Re: Nvidia Cheats on 3dmark Vantage I am still surprised people care about 3Dmark and vantage mark... And I for one completely ignore 3Dmark scores in reviews..

| Re: Nvidia Cheats on 3dmark Vantage It's like cheating in the special olympics. The scored don't mean anything anyway. Sure it's a bit fun but around that, pshh. We always knew nVidia were just a bunch of sleeze bags anyway.

| Re: Nvidia Cheats on 3dmark Vantage 3dmark06 is still a good way to measure a PC when compared to other PC's with similar parts. But ya, for the most part it's not as important.

| Re: Nvidia Cheats on 3dmark Vantage Well I like AMD because they aren't obsessed with taking out Intel, unlike vice-versa (but I want ATi to win this round of cards) So yes and no..

| Re: Nvidia Cheats on 3dmark Vantage Wah, wah, wah......the Inq. crying like they always do. Well I am glad they found something to ***** and moan about to make Nvidia look bad. Nvidia doesn't give them crap, so they write crap about Nvidia.
