Re: I have already given you the release notes for the later driver, no performance increase was noted for the Supreme Commander game.

So where is the information on the Supreme Commander graphics settings to prove you are making an apples-to-apples comparison? We haven't seen any from you yet.

Here is an excellent article on benchmarking with Supreme Commander. Could you please inform us how you concluded that the same map, number of players, view settings, etc. were identical in both reviews when neither gives any specifics.

behardware.com

Here are some maps from you to choose from:

The first figure corresponds to the framerate with the zoom out max and the second after the activation of the mini map, which is in fact a second 3D view:

Ambush Pass : 50 fps / 28 fps
Blasted Rock : 100fps / 65 fps
Canis River : 50 fps / 27 fps
Four-Corners : 80 fps / 50 fps
Sentry Point : 27 fps / 16 fps
Sludge : 100 fps / 80 fps
Theta Passage : 100 fps / 100 fps
Winter Duel : 45 fps / 37 fps


Which map was used and which view?

If we haven't really noted differences for the different level of shadows, deactivating them increases performances by 55% with View 2 with the two maps.

Did you happen to read whether the shadows settings were identical in the reviews? There can be a huge difference in performance if they are not.
