I'd heard rumbles of this before that Nvidia were messing with the drivers to get better 3D Mark scores (who would have theought they would carry so much wieght?). However this step by step disection is quite interesting, one wonders what the potential "knock-on" could be...
Either the benchmarks need to get much cleverer to be effective, or maybe people will stop getting quite so excited about benchmark scores.
