As usual, before we proceed to analysis of the new accelerator we
recommend that you read the analytic article scrutinizing the architecture

Conclusion
3D graphics, game tests
For estimation of the performance in 3D games we used:
-
Return to Castle Wolfenstein (MultiPlayer) (id Software/Activision) - OpenGL,
multitexturing, Checkpoint-demo,
test settings - maximum, S3TC OFF, the configurations can be downloaded
from here
-
Serious Sam: The Second Encounter v.1.05 (Croteam/GodGames) - OpenGL, multitexturing,
Grand Cathedral demo, test settings: quality, S3TC OFF
-
Quake3 Arena v.1.17 (id Software/Activision) - OpenGL, multitexturing,
Quaver,
test settings - maximum: detailing level - High, texture detailing
level - #4, S3TC OFF, smoothness
of curves is much increased through variables r_subdivisions "1"
and r_lodCurveError "30000" (at default r_lodCurveError is
250 !), the configurations can be downloaded from
here
-
Unreal Tournament 2003 Demo (Digital Extreme/Epic Games) - Direct3D, Vertex
Shaders, Hardware T&L, Dot3, cube texturing, default quality
-
Code Creatures Benchmark Pro (CodeCult) test demonstrates operation of
cards in the DirectX 8.1, Shaders, HW T&L.
-
AquaMark (Massive Development) test demonstrates operation of cards in
the DirectX 8.1, Shaders, HW T&L.
-
RightMark 3D v.0.4 (one of the game scenes) - DirectX 8.1, Dot3, cube texturing,
shadow buffers, vertex and pixel shaders (1.1, 1.4).
Quake3 Arena, Quaver
As expected, NVIDIA has the excellent optimization of the OpenGL driver
for this game. Although ATI has good scores as well, the NV30 is still
ahead.
Serious Sam: The Second Encounter, Grand Cathedral
Here without the load the NV30 manages to win, but the losses in AA made
this card a loser in touch modes.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein (Multiplayer), Checkpoint
This game much depends on a processor, that is why the advantages are only
at 1600x1200. Not bad.
Code Creatures
This test is based on the CodeCult's engine which is used for several games.
I wish it were better...
Unreal Tournament 2003 DEMO
The losses with AA are made up for with the anisotropy, that is why on
the whole the NV30 performs quite well, though without the load the advantage
is extremely small.
