61.76 drivers and... what the hell is this?

after installing them the option to turn triliniar optimizations off is
there but its greyed out and cant be changed, what is it set to? how can
you possibly do a fair benchmark without this?

have nvidia suddently decided that users are not allowed this option?

one XFX built 6800GT in here.

The optimization options were available in the 61.21 drivers that came with
it.

Maybe they just don't want to make it possible to turn it on/off
(controlled by user)?

no, i worked it out.

okay when you set system performance to performance or high performance
then the options are available, they are not available when set to quality
or high quality. Strange, with the older drivers this wasnt the case, why
change it?

im a bit confused on how the new driver benchmarks relate to older
benchmarks. If we assume that with High Quality performance with the new
drivers that triliniar optimization is off then my 3Dmark03 score has gone
up by 71 but my Aquamark3 score has gone down by 1403...???? at least in
the first tests, i wonder if its best to run the benchmarks a few times and
take an avarage?

make that, they are only not available with high quality selected.

IIRC the option can only be used with the "Quality" setting and is
unavailable if you have "High Quality" checked?"

Thanks Ginfest, ive since found that out. Funny, i could have sworn that
these options were available with the other drivers and High Quality
selected. Is it safe to assume that the optimizations are off when using
the High Quality setting?
