Didn't nVidia recently withdraw support for 3DMark after ATI's cards started getting better scores on the 2003 version of 3DMark?

I guess that (a) NVidia has decided that its cheating is insufficiently effective, and (b) they are trying to reduce the respectability of 3D Mark.

I've always thought that in the "good old days" ATI and 3dfx rendered *prettier* than NVidia, but NVidia rendered *faster*. These days 3dfx is gone, and ATI and NVidia are each rendering fast and pretty. Who cares as long as the competition continues? I remember paying $200 for my first voodoo card...
