Futuremark is pleased to announce the release of a new version of 3DMark®03 - Build 340!

3DMark03 v3.4.0 is an updated version of 3DMark03. Parts of the program code have been changed so that possible 3DMark03 specific optimizations in current drivers will not work. 3DMark03 specific optimizations in drivers are against run rules of 3DMark03, because they invalidate the performance measurement results and thus make it impossible to compare performances of different hardware. A list of drivers that have been tested - and confirmed to produce valid 3DMark03 scores - has been published on Futuremark’s website. When using the verified drivers and 3DMark03 Build 340, the results are valid and comparable.
Futuremark encourages everyone to download the latest build (340) to ensure comparable 3DMark03 results. The build version 340 is currently the only supported version of 3DMark03.

NOTE: Users may still use & submit results with any drivers available, but such results will not be used in any official online, or offline services.
