Nvidia Detonator Comparison: 27.42, 27.50, 27.51 & 27.70! Posted on: 03/01/2002 02:00 AM Hello people, I was going to bed until I saw... "Beta Detonator 27.70 Appeared!" So I tested the drivers. I have used my post of the last comparison because nothing on my computer has changed so the score will be the same. I tested the following drivers against each other: 27.42 / 27.50 / 27.51 / 27.70. The testing program I used was 3DMark2001 SE under Windows XP. Click on Read More... if you want to see the results. The PC they were tested on was a: AMD Athlon 1333 (Non-Overclocked) "Real Clock 1336.35" EPoX 8KHA+ (KT266A chipset) 256 MB RAM PC2100 VisionTek GeForce 3 (Overclocked at 235/540) Microsoft Windows XP Professional DirectX 8.1 These are the settings I used: All the settings were default except Vsync = Off Monitor = 75Hz If the score is bold that's the highest or same end result of the test. ------------------------------------------------ Detonator 27.42 3DMark 2001 SE Score: 7612 Game 1 Car Chase - Low Detail 118.0 FPS Game 1 Car Chase - High Detail 44.4 FPS Game 2 Dragothic - Low Detail 112.2 FPS Game 2 Dragothic - High Detail 62.8 FPS Game 3 Lobby - Low Detail 121.8 FPS Game 3 Lobby - High Detail 57.5 FPS Game 4 Nature 39.9 FPS Fill Rate (Single-Texturing) 782.5 MTexels/s Fill Rate (Multi-Texturing) 1619.8 MTexels/s High Polygon Count (1 light) 23.7 MTriangels/s High Polygon Count (8 lights) 6.0 MTriangels/s Environment Bump Mapping 122.2 FPS DOT3 Bump Mapping 123.6 FPS Vertex Shader 61.3 FPS Pixel Shader 89.2 FPS Advanced Pixel Shader 72.2 FPS Point Sprite 17.3 MSprites/s ------------------------------------------------ Detonator 27.50 3DMark 2001 SE Score: 7615 Game 1 Car Chase - Low Detail 117.4 FPS Game 1 Car Chase - High Detail 44.6 FPS Game 2 Dragothic - Low Detail 112.4 FPS Game 2 Dragothic - High Detail 63.0 FPS Game 3 Lobby - Low Detail 121.8 FPS Game 3 Lobby - High Detail 57.5 FPS Game 4 Nature 39.9 FPS Fill Rate (Single-Texturing) 782.4 MTexels/s Fill Rate (Multi-Texturing) 1620.0 MTexels/s High Polygon Count (1 light) 23.7 MTriangels/s High Polygon Count (8 lights) 6.0 MTriangels/s Environment Bump Mapping 122.2 FPS DOT3 Bump Mapping 123.8 FPS Vertex Shader 61.7 FPS Pixel Shader 89.2 FPS Advanced Pixel Shader 72.2 FPS Point Sprite 17.3 MSprites/s ------------------------------------------------ Detonator 27.51 3DMark 2001 SE Score: 7617 Game 1 Car Chase - Low Detail 116.8 FPS Game 1 Car Chase - High Detail 44.8 FPS Game 2 Dragothic - Low Detail 112.2 FPS Game 2 Dragothic - High Detail 63.0 FPS Game 3 Lobby - Low Detail 122.3 FPS Game 3 Lobby - High Detail 57.6 FPS Game 4 Nature 39.9 FPS Fill Rate (Single-Texturing) 782.5 MTexels/s Fill Rate (Multi-Texturing) 1618.4 MTexels/s High Polygon Count (1 light) 23.7 MTriangels/s High Polygon Count (8 lights) 6.0 MTriangels/s Environment Bump Mapping 122.3 FPS DOT3 Bump Mapping 123.7 FPS Vertex Shader 61.6 FPS Pixel Shader 89.2 FPS Advanced Pixel Shader 72.3 FPS Point Sprite 17.3 MSprites/s ------------------------------------------------ Detonator 27.70 3DMark 2001 SE Score: 7592 Game 1 Car Chase - Low Detail 116.9 FPS Game 1 Car Chase - High Detail 44.3 FPS Game 2 Dragothic - Low Detail 112.1 FPS Game 2 Dragothic - High Detail 62.7 FPS Game 3 Lobby - Low Detail 121.5 FPS Game 3 Lobby - High Detail 57.4 FPS Game 4 Nature 39.9 FPS Fill Rate (Single-Texturing) 782.4 MTexels/s Fill Rate (Multi-Texturing) 1618.4 MTexels/s High Polygon Count (1 light) 23.7 MTriangels/s High Polygon Count (8 lights) 6.0 MTriangels/s Environment Bump Mapping 122.1 FPS DOT3 Bump Mapping 123.6 FPS Vertex Shader 61.7 FPS Pixel Shader 89.2 FPS Advanced Pixel Shader 72.2 FPS Point Sprite 17.3 MSprites/s ------------------------------------------------ So the 27.51 wins the battle! But I'm going to keep the 27.70 drivers because I had some problems with the Direct3D Games with 27.51. And the 27.70 are the latest drivers... (so far leaked)! I have tested the drivers twice and I picked the highest score! I had some problems with 27.50. WindowsXP didn't boot correctly the first time and I saw strange lines on my screen (very weird). I have no problems so far concluded with 27.70. I'm gonna test some Direct3D games soon... and then I'll put the results right in this post. ( every computer is different, so maybe on other computers the results are different ) TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK! Regards, SUPR3M3
