NVIDIA's Detonator 4 Drivers: Free Performance

GeForce2 Pro

The gains are present on the GeForce2 Pro although not nearly as impressive as they were on the GeForce3.  At 1024 x 768 there is a 9% performance boost and the largest increase you get is at 1600 x 1200 where the Detonator 4 drivers give you just under a 10% increase in frame rate. 

The GeForce2 Pro as well as virtually every other card out there is not able to do too well in AquaMark; the new drivers don’t help much here at all.

Again we’re seeing a small increase in performance but noticeable at the more frequently used resolutions.  At 1025 x 768 there’s a very small 4% increase in frame rate, while at 1280 x 1024 you get an 8% boost.  Definitely not as impressive as the improvements the GeForce3 boasted but you can never complain when you get a free treat.
