Notes

Due to time constraints we only ran Quake 3 benchmarks with our GeForce DDR and Coppermine 750. We ran our timedemos with and without FSAA enabled to see how much FSAA actually hurts performance. We also included old 3.68 scores for comparison.

We tried installing the 5.08 drivers on a 32MB TNT2, but Quake 3 was close to unplayable due to screen flicker (vsync problem perhaps?). After testing out these drivers for a little while, you can definitely tell that they aren't ready for release just yet. The drivers are perfect on some resolutions and settings, but we noticed visual artifacts on a couple different settings.
