Here we go....

 

This is a snippet from page 2 of a 2003 benchmarking article on Gamespy.com:

 

...let me clarify a few things about what has been happening between 3DMark and NVIDIA. For those that missed the news, 3DMark issued a new patch (version 330, which is what I used) that disabled certain "cheats" that had been discovered in NVIDIA's drivers. After what I am guessing was some legal wrangling, a joint press release from both Futuremark and NVIDIA was released, explaining that what was really going on were code optimizations specifically targeted at 3DMark by NVIDIA's drivers.
