Asus Driver Cheating!

Published by

Don't this just make u laugh? Hey Asus's guy can u fix my Drivers please? Anyway RivaStation have caught Asus drivercheating.

We encountered a too high performance in benchmark tests of a new ASUS V8200 T2 Deluxe (GeForce 3 Ti200) graphics card compared to other Ti200 boards running at a clockrate of 175/400MHz. The card achived 7809 points in 3D Mark 2001 800x600-32 with the ASUS drivers but only 7301 points with NVIDIA reference drivers (Results around 7300 are normal for Ti200 cards on that test plattform).

In Quake 3 we got 171 instead of 156 FPS ? That´s 10% higher than normal. The reason for this is an automated overclocking option in the ASUS driver (v21.81 Beta1).

The card is running at the standard clockspeed of 175/400Mhz while in the standard desktop or windowed mode. The driver is overclocking the card only while running in Direct3D or OpenGL fullscreen mode...

So for the full story warp to RivaStation Rancho*: I just LOVE this business!
