Hilbert Hagedoorn van Guru 3D heeft een klein artikeltje geschreven over de nieuwe gelekte Detonator drivers (versie 6.16). Deze drivers zijn weer een flinke verbetering, in OpenGL en in Direct3D zijn performance winsten van circa 10 frames per seconde te zien. Opmerkelijk is dat de performance winst groter wordt bij hogere resoluties:
Monday 14th of August NVIDIA will release/has released new GeForce/TNT Detonator drivers with revision 6.16, the last known reference drivers where at 5.22. One day before the release the drivers leaked on the web, I decided to download and install them and quite frankly I was impressed ! There is a serious increase of performance to be found in the new update, let me show you:
The Quaver timedemo is somewhat more CPU dependant than for example the Demo001 from ID. Still watch the numbers closely, once again in all resolutions the results have increased significant. Also in this table we can see that the maximum performance hit is in the 1024 and 1280 section.
[...] In almost all modes/resolutions the results have increased with almost 300 3D marks, pretty impressive !
