4x-FSAA-Performance

High-Detail Test 1600x1200 4x AA / No Aniso

We colored the scores with the NVIDIA drivers v45.23 and v51.75 because they do not render the correct image (see quality comparison). The only driver rendering a correct image is v44.03 from Mai 2003, which shows a very low performance compared with the ATI cards.
