Once again, we would like to stress that this is still very much a pre-release driver. XGI was able to reproduce and confirm the issues we encountered and has promised to address them ASAP. Having said that, we remind you that the following benchmark results should be seen as nothing more than first impression, with the proviso that what you see here is beta hardware running with beta drivers. Due to the problems with the trilinear filter, a direct comparison with NVIDIA or ATi cards is currently not possible. Finally, we are confident that the scores of the Volari Duo V8 Ultra will improve over the next few weeks.
