Seriously? A 9600GT scores higher than a GTX 295/ Core I7 920 @ 4ghz?

Yes cliffro, the top ranked positions are wrong scores. Time to time I clean up cheaters (I will do it after the post).
That's why I published on FurMark's homepage a comparative table with average score by type of card:
http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/#comptable

You with a GTX 260, you should have a score around 3300. You have 3877 and it's ok.

Right, It and my CPU are both Overclocked.(my speeds are shown in my score)

The problem is... if you set the time above the 60 second test you get higher scores.
A bug in the software?, it should be locked to 60 sec. only, then no one could place false scores.
I my self had no idea when adding more time while running the bench this is what would happen.
I did it as a test since I saw that most scores that are summited are unbelievable & in fact cheats as well...
That's If you want to call a flaw in the program a cheat that is. I think the whole page should be whipped,
fix it were the time is locked & start fresh with all new scores.
