    "Graphics driver is not approved"

    Hello

    I have just built a new computer for work and play, see below:

    http://3dmark.com/3dm11/2857061

    As you can see from the link above, I am getting the messages:

    "Graphics driver is not approved"
    &
    “Your result has the following problem(s) and will not be shown for example on leaderboards:”

    My old computer had a GTX 460 in it. I was getting a windows graphics score of 6.8 with the GTX 460, I now only get 6.7 with the GTX 570. I know the windows index is not that useful or reliable, but combined with the 3dmark messages it make me think something is wrong.

    I used the latest driver off the NVIDIA site (version 295.73). This was put on after a clean install of windows 64 Home Premium.

    The computer is stable (nothing overclocked). All my work applications run without any problems.

    Might I have a driver problem?

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in Advance

    Rob

    295.xx drivers came out only last week and have not yet been through our approval process. Most likely they will be approved and at that point your existing score submission will turn to "approved".

    It really matters only if you are trying to benchmark really high scores for our Hall of Fame or for some contest, otherwise that warning can be pretty much ignored.

    If the score seems otherwise good, there is no reason to be alarmed.

    Thanks for the swift reply.

    If that’s the case and that score sounds about right for the system I have, then I have no reason to think there is anything wrong.

    Thanks
