Nvidia 27.20 ødelegger dine skygger !

har skrevet dette for annet forum , derfor er det på det riktige språket.

--------------------------------------

 

this is the results of an very carefully comparsion of the Nvidia 23.12 vs 27.20 drivers..

 

Dual P3 1069Mhz , Win2k, Geforce3

(I don't want to bother you with more hardware bragging , that's why it's short)

Each driver got all settings set to default , then set AGP to 4x , highest mipmap detail and 85Hz Refresh.

I verified that all driver's default settings are equal...

 

 

What I did :

Drivers 23.11 , gave me an average of 6384 3Dmark's on 3 runs.

Quality test pictures were saved for compare...

 

Drivers 27.20 , gave me an average of 6097 3Dmark's on 3 runs.

Quality test pictures were saved for compare...

 

Drivers 23.12 , gave me an average of 6380 3Dmark's on 3 runs.

Quality test pictures were saved for compare...

 

now , the speed "difference" between 23.11 and 23.12 is just random.

however , the highest 27.20 score never reach up to the lowest benchmark of 23.1x

 

the most important stuff , is WORSE PICTURE QUAILITY !

After comparing pictures of game 1 and game 2 it's easy to see that some SHADOWS are MISING !

(game 3 and 4 have no difference at all)

In game 1 the truck that casts a shadow on the bumpy road with 23.1x drivers , does NOT cast ANY shadow with 27.20.

In game 2 a distant runner is shadow-less with 27.20 . , yet shadows are fine with 23.1x drivers.

 

CONCLUSION:

 

27.20 cripples your shadowing ,and gain fewer 3dmark points , than the faster 23.12 drivers that shadows perfectly.

There is NO other differences between 23.1x and 27.20 screenshots.
