Paul, Here is the latest. We are down to 50% and they are OpenGL graphics tests. I used to work with the guy who wrote ViewPerf. You shouldn't trust the Unnatural Inquirer. Earlier we linked to a story at ZDNet claiming that P4s with the new Nvidia 12.0 drivers produced 90% better OpenGL performance, as shown by SpecViewPerf. We’ve tried them out ourselves, and got results closer to 50%: changing from Detonator3 to v12.0 with our 1.4GHz P4 and an old MX card drove the SVP Awadvs-04 score from 40.65 to 60.36, while DX-06 went from 14.39 to 21.76! And ZDNet was wrong to say gaming performance wasn’t affected: Our 3DMark2001 score went from 1785 (on an MX card, remember) to 1978, and the Q3A framerate skyrocketed 30% from 135.5 all the way to 175.2!!! I can’t find these drivers at Nvidia’s website, but you can download them from ZDNet here. (04/30/2001) all-about-pc.de!
