FYI, we just decided to disable (at least for the time being) all current submitted results using the questionable drivers, Detonator 42.67, 42.68 and 42.69. This means that the current results are not deleted, but disabled from being published. We encourage you to use only officially released, and/or WHQL'ed drivers, as results run with the above-mentioned driver versions will be disabled.
The reason for this is that the drivers have been officially stated as optimized for 3DMark03, and we can not verify the purity and integrity of the drivers. We are investigating the drivers and their effect on 3DMark03 - both performance and the rendering quality (ie. image quality).
Originally the drivers were supposedly released to a group of websites (and/or other media) as an example, but unfortunately got leaked for public use.
We are striving for allowing only officially released & WHQL'ed drivers in the future.
Update: I want to remind you all that this does not mean that we are banning all beta/leaked drivers, and not that any projects would have been deleted. They are simply disabled from being published.
