Monthly drivers report and popular 3D
accelerators comparison

Monthy 3Digest is the project of iXBT.com and Digit-Life.com dedicated to informing you about the performance of a large number of graphics cards under Windows XP in the past month.

This issue is dedicated to drivers released from the 15th of May 2006 to the 15th of June 2006. Traditionally our 3Digest informs you about the best price/performance ratios available in the market. Another very important part of any issue is cards' 3D graphics quality shown on the example of a wide selection of games.

It's our 73th issue of 3Digest.

June 2006

All right! 3Digest is 6 years old! This time we won't celebrate another anniversary. Thanks God, we've passed the 5-year BORDER=1 and that's it. Next time we'll draw a global bottom line, when the digest is 10 years old.

Besides, the passed year brought about only a few changes. Just the AGP testbed became a matter of the past. But if you want, here's the last-year article about 3Digest's startup.

As of June, the key event was volume release of GeForce 7950 GX2 based on dual G71 cores.

PLEASE NOTE! This issue contains only PCI-E cards benchmarks! The last AGP test results are dated March 2006 and provided here.

1. Testbed configuration

• System on Athlon 64 (939Socket)
  • AMD Athlon 64 4000+ CPU (L2=1024K);
  • ASUS A8N32 SLI Deluxe motherboard on NVIDIA nForce4 SLI X16; for testing ATI CrossFire we used ASUS A8R32-MVP motherboard on ATI RADEON Xpress 3200 CrossFire.
  • 2 GB DDR SDRAM 400MHz (CAS (tCL)=2.5; RAS to CAS delay (tRCD)=3; Row Precharge (tRP)=3; tRAS=6);
  • WD Caviar SE WD1600JD 160GB SATA HDD.

Testbeds had Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2, DirectX 9.0c installed. IIYAMA Vision Master Pro 514 (22") monitor was used.

The list of benchmarks is here.

3. June 2006 news and events

Added a number of new graphics cards (marked "NEW").

• 3.1. The following drivers were released from May 15, 2006 to June 15, 2006:
  
  
  • NVIDIA ForceWare for all NVIDIA-based cards:
    
    
    • Windows XP: 91.31 WHQL release - was released late, so didn't take part in our tests (just with GeForce 7950 GX2).

    
    

  • ATI Catalyst for all ATI-based cards:
    
    
    • Windows XP: CATALYST 6.6 - was released very late, so it also didn't take part in our tests.
      

  
  
  

• 3.2. This month we used 91.28 (91.31 for 7950) drivers for NVIDIA cards summaries, 6.5 drivers for ATI cards summaries.

• 4.16 Notes on graphics cards performance with the latest drivers:
  
  
  • If a particular card is not in the summary, i.e. its results are either 0, or 1, it means the given benchmark hasn't worked or has worked incorrectly with this card.
  • The impossibility of running HDR together with AA on NVIDIA cards decreased their ratings, since all of them couldn't pass Shader Model 3.0 benchmarks of 3DMark06 in AA+AF mode, when HDR was enabled.

  After all charts were made, we noticed an misprint: "BFG GeForce 7950 GX2 1MB" that should obviously read "1GB".

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

  Calculations were based on gaming benchmark results as well as the results from 3DMark06 new tests (ATI CATALYST 6.5, NVIDIA ForceWare 91.28/91.31).

  
  All willing to conduct his own rating calculations with his own values are invited to download this Excel XP table in RAR 3.0 or ZIP format.

  The method of rating calculation is described here.

  Calculations were conducted considering the following assumptions:

  1. Percentage of performance and quality demand ratio:
     • performance priority - 60%
     • quality priority - 40%

  2. ONLY 1600x1200@32bpp resolution was used for the prospect rating;
  3. The usability rating indicates performance and features of a card (numerator) related to its price (denominator).

  According to your wishes, we separated ratings into two groups: the first gathers all benchmarks, and the second contains only the gaming tests without m3DMark05/06. Disbelieving the synthetic tests, many think the second group is of higher importance.

  Athlon 64 4000+ platforms:

  You can see the usability and prospect graphs by downloading the Excel file above.
