Dark][Tweaker looks at Forceware Drivers

[TheGreatGrapeApe]

While alot of the focus has been on the GF6800 series it's interesting to see how these drivers impact the FX5900 series. Dark][Tweaker has a look at 56.72 to 62.01;

Some wild jumps in there, especially in synthetic benchies. Actual game performance with UT2K4 does seem best or second best with the latest drivers, so that good to see.

The charts are a tad iffy; i mean at first glance-

That looks like an ENORMOUS performance increase... and yet the difference between the highest and lowest score is <b>less than 1FPS!</b>

Now, an overclock of 5% would pwn that driver increase.
Although, since their debut, the FX's have improved drastically. I have tried most driver sets; including the seemingly endless supply of Betas.
