Futuremark Announces Patch for 3DMark03

Now that the official 53.03 set is out and appears to still contain the cheats it gets a bit more interesting. Apparently FM's rules now give nVidia one week to either remove or explain the cheats to FM's satisfaction before _________ happens. (I don't know what ______ is...I'm hoping they took my recomendations for public floggings. )

At least, that's where I THINK we are now.

That is correct as far as I know.

There are one of three possibilities:

1) Futuremark reviews the new drivers, finds them legit, and puts them on the "reviewed and approved" list. (Anyone think this is gonna happen?)

2) Futuremark reviews the new drivers, finds the same (or some of the same) illigitimate issues as last time. Creates ANOTHER patch for 3DMark, and puts the new drivers on the "reviewed" list.

3) Futuremark reviews the new drivers, finds the same issues, does not release a patch, but puts the drivers on the "black list."

There are pros and cons to approaches 2 and 3...I'm not sure which one I'd prefer...

4) Futuremark approves the drivers but only for comparision against other nvidia cards.
