TNT2 Drivers Guide (3/7)

MDK2 - v1.01

MDK2 is an OpenGL based game which offers a "Hardware T&L" option. This is slightly confusing, as it only enables hardware based lighting. When the game is run with this option on a card without a GPU, the CPU has to take on the task of rendering the light sources. Understandably, the performance takes a rather drastic hit, although the latest patch improves the situation. As a result, these scores can’t be compared with those from our older benchmarks (Old benches were made without that patch and higher texture detail).

Surprise: The oldest drivers yielded the best results, regardless of whether the game was run in 16bit or 32bit. V3.77 and v6.31 perform almost identically, while v5.32 is slightly faster.
