I remember when NVIDIA released a special driver to reviewers that set LOD for 3d01 real low...it made their cards faster than ATI's at the time. Only issue was the industry gave them a bashing for it and many reviewers had to redo their reviews. This is the whole reason why FM asked you use apporoved drivers only...to stop the cheating.
LOD is a way of speeding up a bench just like *** does, to me its no different to use either, one speeds up internal clock and the other lower the resolution of rendered frames...same crap different day.
We are going to be at each others throat here as OCZbenchteam has taken a 0 cheat approach, this includes LOD and we are firmly against it.
