What does it add? Did it lower or increase your benches?
Also, I read at another site that nvid has cheating drivers that run slower when certain parts of 3dmark are not allowed to show.
They see the 3dmark and change settings automaticaly. Supposedly nvid said they will change the drivers.
Kinda like ATI and Q3.
See ya

Not sure why, but I took a 100+ point hit in performance with this patch, from 8496 to 8373. No other changes were made to the system. I'm not too happy about that and stumped as to why. Radeon 8500 64MB retail, Xp1800+, win 98 se. Anyone else see a hit?
