Old paper about Nvidia and 3dmarks

17 October 2001, 10:44

I remember reading something on matrox's site, or something by them , that explained how nvidia hacked their drivers to increase perfomance gains , by removing a quality option or something

if anyone has the url for that it'd be appreciated !

Nope. In the benchmarks thread you'll see a few thousand fps on Q3 demos.
