Futuremark hat heute einen ersten Patch für den 3DMark03 veröffentlicht. Er integrierte Microsofts DirectX 9.0a und weitere Features in den Basisbenchmarks. Resultate aus der unbepatchten und gepatchten Version sollen jedoch zu 100% vergleichbar sein.

Wir haben uns zwar um zwei Mirrors bemüht, werden diese jedoch aus Traffic-Gründen sicherlich nicht ewig laufen lassen. Je nach Download-Aufkommen solltet ihr euch also beeilen, das File zu ziehen und zu Gunsten der Allgemeinheit einen Blick in eventuell vorhandene "Shared-Folders" altbekannter P2P-Tauschbörsen werfen.
