Monthly drivers report and popular 3D
accelerators comparison

Monthly 3D Digest is the project of iXBT.com devoted to releases of new Windows XP (monthly) and Windows 9x/ME (once in 4 months) drivers for popular videocards (released from the 10th of January 2003 to the 10th 10th of February 2004). As usual, there are many diagrams containing the information on changes in operation of videocards at change to last version drivers, and also summary diagrams of popular modern videocards performance. Traditionally we provide the best price/performance information for our 3Digest. Quality aspects are reviewed in the section dedicated to Windows XP.

February 2004

One of the major events was the Game Developers Conference (KRI2004) held on February 21-22 (it's described here). It hosted a lot of seminars held by ATI and NVIDIA and also offered us a chance to speak to two worldwide popular game developers, John Romero and Tom Hall. This clearly proved the importance and the necessity of conducting such events in the future.

The last winter month continued generating tension in the graphics card market. Almost every day we were hearing to some "semi-official" information about the NV40 and R420. Moreover, NVIDIA quietly added a number of newer names to its roadmap, in particular, GeForce FX 5700LE, GeForce FX 5700VE, GeForce FX 5500, and... GeForce FX 5200SE! I'm afraid buyers' mental health might shatter in the vast ocean of GeForces, when these novelties reach the retail...

But let's continue with the Digest. In this issue you will see a considerably changed list of tested graphics cards, including the long-anticipated XGI Volari Duo V8 Ultra. As well as the lots of tests and even more charts! :-))

Stay with us, and you will always know about every product in the consumer graphics card market!

It's our 45th issue of 3Digest.

The list of testing software is here

2. Videocard list

Below is the list of graphics cards that we tested. Each corresponding page contains the brief card description. Besides, some pages are dedicated to the latest drivers for cards on given GPUs. In the summary diagrams you can also see the performance results obtained on overclocked graphics cards.

Drivers released by videocard manufacturers are not taken into account (unless written by GPU manufacturers) because there are very many of them and it's impossible to test them all.

You can find comments about reviewed drivers in the corresponding sections:

3D graphics quality screenshots are provided in our monthly updated Screenshot Gallery.

3. February 2004 news and current business

  • 3.1. The following drivers were released from January 10, 2004 to February 10, 2004:

    • NVIDIA ForceWare for all NVIDIA cards:

      • Windows XP: 53.03


    • ATI Catalyst for all ATI cards:

      • Windows XP: 6.414, 6.422;


    These and other drivers are available for download at drivers.ixbt.com, riva.ixbt.com, as well as on unofficial support websites: NVWORLD and RADEON2.RU. We've excluded 3DMark from our testing, however as many like these tests, we recommend you to visit Guide3D.ru that contains a lot of useful information.

  • 3.2. In this month we used 53.03 drivers for NVIDIA cards summaries; 6.422 drivers for ATI cards summaries.

  • 3.3. This time we added Far Cry DEMO (Crytek/UbiSoft) benchmark to our standard test list.
    DirectX 9.0, multitexturing, demos are here (to run with -DEVMODE), Very High settings (except for textures, which DEMO prevents to set above Medium).

4. Summary diagrams of graphics cards performance with the latest drivers available at the moment of testing in February 2004.

5. 3D accelerator ratings calculations for the end of the month


Anyone who wants to conduct his own rating calculations with his own values may download this Excel table (Office'3-'0) in RAR 3.0 and ZIP format.

The method of rating calculation is described here.

Calculations were conducted considering the following assumptions:

  1. Windows XP is used;
  2. Percentage of performance and quality demand ratio:
    • Performance priority - 60%
    • Quality priority - 40%

  3. ONLY 1600x1200@32bpp resolution was used for the prospect rating;
  4. Usability ratings are separated into the three sections: High-End, Middle-End, and Low-End. Each rating features its own expenses for system upgrade. All this is considered in APG parameter that is 100 for Low-End, 250 for Middle-End, and 151 for High-End. We believe that if a user wants to purchase a very expensive and powerful accelerator, he understands the inanity of installing it into a Low-End PC. So we separated the usability rating for different PC levels.

Usability rating (rating from the previous 3Digest is in parentheses):
