What's new this month
All up-to-date galleries were updated with Far Cry screenshots made with the latest official drivers for Windows Vista (6.0, build 6000). Next month we shall, most likely, re-organize this section of 3Digest to simplify quality comparison and update the list of benchmarks.
Graphics cards
The following graphics cards were used to make the Quality Control section:
Besides, the following cards have been tested before:
Up-to-date galleries
Galleries are updated a) when a patch that considerably changes rendering quality is released; and b) when new drivers are released. In the former case the gallery is re-shot completely for all drivers involved.
Considering that ATI releases new, but rather similar drivers every month, we perform quality control for ATI graphics cards on each first month of the quarter (January, April, July and October).
In case of NVIDIA we examine just new official drivers which also happens about once in three months.
Anyway, we reserve the right to examine drivers, official or leaked, out of turn, if we are just interested in it.
