Quick-Test: NVIDIA v6.49 drivers (4/9)

MDK 2 v1.1 (OpenGL)

Ouch! The new drivers produce a massive performance drop in MDK2! About 20FPS slower in 16Bit and almost the same in 32Bit. Only the high 32Bit resolutions show the same results but a GeForce 2 Ultra is pretty fillrate limited at those resolutions. It seems the new v6.49 drivers need a lood more CPU time. I thought I used wrong Vsync settings when I looked at the results first. But the settings are all OK, as we will also see later in Quake 3. The new driver simply does not work good in MDK2.
