那你能不能解释白皮书中这句话什么意思？这个在以前讨论中别人也贴过，这里我又贴了一次，不知道你为什么总是无视。
GPU physics performance is not a part of this test as GPU physics capabilities are teste ...
Futuremark的3DMARK Vantage的CPU Test从一开始就是设计为支持PPU硬件加速的，所以很明显这个测试不仅仅是CPU Only，而且是支持PPU硬件加速的。
NVIDIA GeForce PhysX 加速是由 CUDA 来实现，对于支持 PhysX 硬件的游戏来说，理论上只要升级 PhysX 驱动就能获得相应的硬件加速。
Futuremark在这个问题上的官方声明目前我只看到这个：
http://hothardware.com/News/NVID ... heating_Allegation/
Oliver Baltuch of Futuremark had this to offer with respect to NVIDIA'snew technology, 3DMark Vantage and the industry as a whole:
"The driver in question has not been submitted for authorization and isfor demo purposes only. NVIDIA has followed the correct rules fordriver authorization and the BDP by sending us the 177.35 driver (thesame as AMD has sent us the 8.6 driver), both of which are currentlyundergoing the authorization process in our Quality Assurance area atthis moment. Only drivers that have passed WHQL and our driverauthorization process have comparable results that will be allowed foruse in our ORB database and hall of fame.
"这个被谈论到的驱动并没有递交上来作认可并且只是作为演示之用。NVIDIA已经按照驱动认可以及BDP规章向我们递交177.35驱动（AMD也一样向我们递交了8.6驱动），它们此刻正在接受我们的品质保证方面的认可处理。只有通过WHQL以及我们的驱动认可过程的驱动，才会被允许作为用于我们的ORB数据库和名人堂的可比对结果。"
Futuremark的Driver Optimization Policy for 3DMark Vantage：
1. It is prohibited to for the driver to change the rendering qualitylevel, rendering technique or replace or alter any shaders or otherparts of the workload from that what is requested by 3DMark.
2. With the exception of configuring the correct rendering mode onmulti-GPU systems, it is prohibited for the driver to detect the launchof 3DMark Vantage executable and to alter, replace or override anyquality parameters or parts of the benchmark workload based on thedetection. Optimizations in the driver that utilize empirical data of3DMark Vantage workloads are prohibited.
3. Generic driver optimizations that do not violate the above rules andbenefit applications and games in general, are acceptable only if therendering output is mathematically consistent with that of Microsoft®DirectX® reference rasterizer.
4. The default settings of the benchmark will utilize an AGEIAPhysX PPU hardware if one is available in the system. The utilizationof the AGEIA PhysX PPU can be switched off and the result will still beapproved as a default result.
5. Based on the specification and design of the CPU tests, GPU make,type or driver version may not have a significant effect on the resultsof either of the CPU tests as indicated in Section 7.3 of the 3DMarkVantage specification and whitepaper.
177.35驱动通过了包括第4条、第5条规则在内的整个3DMark Vantage驱动认可，很有可能就是Futuremark现在把 GeForce PhysX 看作是一个 AGEIA PhysX PPU hardware 来处理。
到目前为止，Futuremark 并没有进行 177.35 的 Cancellation of Driver Approvals：
5 Cancellation of Driver Approvals
Futuremark reserves the right to cancel and void the approval of anycurrently approved drivers if the driver is later found not to complywith the Rules and Policies defined in this or later revisions of thisdocument. The change of the approval status will be published on theappropriate driver approval lists on Futuremark’s website. |
