why the hell would you dld that

rob.derosa · Sep 15, 2003

Aren't they increasing performance at the cost of quality in these drivers?

twofold · Sep 15, 2003

These drivers work, 3dmark03 score went up.

But, cheating death picks them up as "hacking drivers", so its pretty useless to play half life with...great (!)

seriously ? WOW now i have seen everything.

Anthraxxx · Sep 15, 2003

Nvidia blows. Cheating on drivers. Screw that.

genocide604 · Sep 15, 2003

hmm ill wait until nvidia releases there official drivers..

Mountain Man · Sep 16, 2003

Download new drivers from an unofficial source? No thanks. Windows has enough security problems as it is.

ATI Radeon 9800

nVidia Geforce FX 5900 with 50'er dets

This has been mentioned othertimes as well, there is something really wrong with the lighting. It's especially apparent in some other benchmarks, like Aquamark 3.

XtAkm4p · Sep 16, 2003

jesus the ati pic of halo looks so much better

rob.derosa · Sep 16, 2003

Wow... they do look sucky.

Stiler · Sep 16, 2003

...The halo pics it just looks like someone turned up/down the brightness/contrast.

KaoS87 · Sep 16, 2003

LOL. their exactly the same except that the ati is brighter than the nvidia.The only thing that looks weird is the tomb raider one but how can they get the exact same picture with both cards?

KaoS87 · Sep 16, 2003

exactly what stiler just said... thankyou.

Huh? Some objects (the weapon, actual water, and the smaller rocks) are exactly the same in both pictures. It is a lighting issue and how it is calculated by the card.

It's a railed demo/benchmark.

D33 · Sep 16, 2003

Several posts edited to remove un-needed comments.
Am not amused.

ApocalypseNow · Sep 16, 2003

Its offical.... Nvidia has gone to rock bottom!

They Lied (Hardly any FPS improve ment in DX 9.0)!
They Cheated (Lower image quality with new DETS)!
They Made Excueses (HL2 benchmark statements)!

It all comes down to:

They Have Made New Crappy Products (FX CARDS)!

Someone need to step in and help Nvidia get back together!

AmishSlayer · Sep 16, 2003

I tried out the new drivers with different benchmarks...no improvement really... BOOO.

Ah well, my 9600 should be here by next week.

deathryuu · Sep 16, 2003

i also tried out the new 51.75 drivers, I DID notice an improvement of...1fps...seriously. i only noticed a 1 fps increase in my UT2003 and 3dmark benchmarks. ofcourse this so called "fps improvement" COULD only be in effect when running a game in dx9 mode(although for some reason when i was running the 3dmark benchmark the screen seemed to go black, then back to normal when loading a new scene, like it was changing a video card setting). looks like i better start savin up the ol' green so i can order the new radeon 9800xt...

Actually Nvidia pwns ATI in Doom3 tests , kthnx.

PS- Im still switching to ATI after I test the REAL 51 drivers. Those pictures look slightly unbelievable to me thnx.

PPS- Amish Ive asked this before , How did you manage that switch? Thanks(no sarcasm this time lol )

twofold · Sep 16, 2003

The only reason that nvidia cards run well in doom3 is because they're paying Carmack to devise an alternate coding pathway specifically for nvidia cards.

It may run differently in the final version.

dawdler · Sep 16, 2003

Maybe the official ones will be better... They did improve after they pulled that stunt with clip planes, one driver had clip planes and was fast, another driver removed the clip planes but was equally fast (question is how much PS code has been altered

).
The only thing known about these driver are that they are lousy. Do we even know these are REAL 5x drivers and not really old betas?! Maybe Nvidia has a surprise in store for everyone!

Uhm, sorry, was I asleep? I had a very odd dream... Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, these drivers are very unimpressive and not worth the download

Tek · Sep 16, 2003

what in the hell is nvidia doing?, they are practically slamming another nail in the coffin with every piece of news i hear.

Thats right Carmarck confirmed it in an email.

I dont think nVidia paid him to do it though ID would have intrest in doing it by their own valet nVidia still sells the most cards because their Geforce name are so well known...

Demonmerc · Sep 16, 2003

I am waiting until HL2 is actually released before deciding on a card. There will be tons of comparisons out then

How is that different than ATI paying Valve 8 million? Its not. Thnx. Plz dont act like its such a unique thing.

This isnt official news this is an unofficial leak by an untrustworth person/persons.

becuase valve are doing there best to make nvidia cards work as good as possible.......

THAT is the differance.

Sparky the Fox · Sep 16, 2003

dimitri, the difference is that half-life 2 runs fastest on ati cards, so they got together. doom 3 runs fastest on nvidia cards since they "inspired" carmack to code things just for nvidia cards, like 12-bit precision pathways. the cause and effect are reversed.

SilentKilla · Sep 16, 2003

people already getting back to the ATI pwns all base, when the drivers havnt even been released officilly yet.

its not just this, its everything lately

Kenny · Sep 16, 2003

Do not download any beta drivers, they suck. Always download official released drivers on the Nvidia or Ati site!

I know thats what Im trying to say. Everyone acts like Nvidia sucks so bad. Its abut money. Valve didnt put effort into coding fo Nvidia.
