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. last post from me on this subject

So you all think reducing LOD that much is renders butterfly's as large + is ok...come on now thats just plain stupid. Its a cheat, if you were not able to do it you would not miss it, trust me. 3D benches should test for default LOD and not run if over ridden IMO and I expressed the same to the futuremark guys. Everyone on the same page and same playing field...end users and manufacturers alike.

Reducing the level of detail a card will render a frame below that what is available thru approved driver release is cheating. I said what Ryder would not, OCZbenching team does not use LOD and I have spoken to Futuremark expressing they should make LOD tweaks illegal and detectable...whether they agree with my POV is upto them though.
