nVidia 197.13 Driver Mega Test

2560×1600

At the most demanding resolution of 2560×1600 we also see the largest performance gain overall seen so far, that of 6.14%. We also see the largest individual performance gain to date, that of Fear 2’s 9% (tested three times to ensure repeatability). Again, this is the sort of gain you’d expect from a good GPU overclock, but it’s coming for free from the driver.

I’m also amazed Prey is showing a 7.66% performance gain considering it’s a four year old game, and OpenGL at that. Interestingly Quake Wars is a newer OpenGL game, but its result is within the margin of benchmarking error.
