Driver comparsion: NVIDIA v6.50 vs. v12.41 (3/5) |
Quake 3 v1.17 - OpenGL Quake 3 is THE gaming benchmark. If any game has ever monopolized the benchmark scene, it is Quake 3. Any card or driver worth its salt has to look good in this game. This time I have included results at 800x600.
There isn’t really a performance increase with the newer drivers here. On the contrary, in the lower resolutions the older v6.50 is faster! The ULTRA drops below 200fps with the new drivers, while the MX is largely unaffected either way.
In 32Bit color, the performance differences we saw in the 16Bit tests have all but vanished. All results are within the normal margin of error for testing. |
