NVIDIA's Fall Product Line: GeForce3 Titanium

Drivers and FSAA Performance

We already established that Windows 2000 and XP drivers had matured considerably in our Radeon 8500 preview so we will refrain from going through that set of tests again here.  In our forthcoming Radeon 8500 review we'll take a closer look at driver performance in various OSes.

Since there are no new FSAA modes offered in any of the Titanium cards we'll again focus on FSAA in our 8500 review.

The Test

Our testing methodology for this review is similar to what we used in our Radeon 8500 preview.  The only differences being that we added another resolution to test at (1600 x 1200 x 32) and we are now testing using the latest drivers from all manufacturers on an Intel Pentium 4 2.0GHz platform. 

We used a slightly newer version of the Detonator XP drivers (v21.85) for this test. Performance didn't improve any over the original Detonator XPs however these drivers properly recognize all of the Titanium cards.
