Thanks to shaderboy for the info:

Unwinder, the author of RivaTuner has published his report on the NV and ATI antidetector he has been programming. The antidetector blocks all optimisations and cheats in graphics drivers.



The article only covers 3DMark2001SE. The results are interesting. Both ATI and Nvidia lose points, ATI in game 4 and Nvidia in game 4 and Dragothic. ATI lose 385 points Nvidia 1243!

#45341 Posted on: 07/02/2003 01:14 PM Digit-Life.com should post later this day an article on the whole nvidia-ATI driver optimization debate by using Unwinder's anti-detection scripts. News already leaked that neither nvidia nor ATI will look good according to the information they found out during the writing of the article...

#45355 Posted on: 07/02/2003 11:44 PM I have personally used the antidetection script on a 9800 and an FX5900 today, both have shown a performance drop in many situations including games, however there is a big difference between them. Firstly the FX 5900 took a much bigger hit and secondly the image quality of the FX definatly imcreased with this script, showing that nvidia is cutting back quality, even in real games. ATI didnt really have any noticable quality increase, which wasnt a great surprise when you consider that very often the ATI driver output is identical to the DX8/9 reference. It seems that all ATI is doing is reordering shaders and sometimes rewriting then in PS1.4 or 2.0 where as nvidia is rewriting them to reduce accuracy . If you dont believe it try it.
