No this is extremely interesting, completely misses the purpose of a comparative benchmark. Futuremark SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ASAP

yup sure is IF anything 3DMark11 should bypass nVidia's and ATI control panel setting altogether and use/force it's own

Hmm, were is high quality? So that's how they were getting scores in the mid P5500 - P6000 range. Could you also perform extreme benchmark results (high quality vs performance). I want to see if the increase is just as high or minuscule.

Are you saying that nv control panel no longer has HQ? Perhaps I'm not understanding you, do you have a pic of these settings?

Until now I thought that 3dMark11 entirely handles its own settings to make the scores more objective,but it seems that I was wrong...Now I think we have to make some changes in the rules(like adding one which tells us to use the highest image quality settings,cos that seems the only way to make it as objective as possible)..but I leave this for AthlonX2 and to rest of you guys to verify this by yourself..

EDIT:experiment results:i7 950 @ 4.140GHz + GTX 480 835core/1000memory with NVIDIA control panel image settings at quality score P5851
control panel image settings at balanced score P5929

EDIT:control panel image settings at performance score P6130

Now this is ridiculous!!! We all know that the control panels for VGA cards have the control over the overall performance but should be a benchmark with such a big name as objective as possible....well according to my test objective my arse...they should make the benchmark settings override the control panels settings to one same settings everybody would use...
I thought this was always the case, even as far back as 3dm01?

Maybe it's the Skin "Blue Kompakter Skin by Gryphon" who shows this (wrong) 2.1.8 Versions number...

There are probably articles out there for past versions of 3dm on how to tweak your system for better results. I can imagine that there are (or will be) articles for the new version, too. However, I really don't consider it cheating, but more as tweaking. There are a lot of people who tweak their system for any other kind of benches, why not this one, too?

If this is going to become an issue we may end up moving to a futuremark validation ONLY system. Any thoughts on this?
