64Bit driver comparison and benchmarks

[McArra]

Benches at GamePC. Nice numbers and sometimes little performance gains over 32bit...

I'm not impressed... with the article I mean. There are numerous typo's and descriptions that don't match what the graphs are showing. If they can't even get the article right, I wonder if they did the testing right...

Not bad for beta drivers on a beta OS. Anyone know when XP 64 is due for release? This year maybe?

I've seen lot's of reviews for them, they are very good doing it..... not perfect it seems

agreed, they have been that way for a long time

It's not only spelling errors... look...

This card typically runs better on nVidia hardware, and from the benchmarks it ran though correctly, that certainly shows.

... referring to a graph where the FX5950 Ultra couldn't run one of the tests with the 64-bit drivers.

So now I'm confused... is the graph right, or is the paragraph right?

It should says

This game runs better on nVidia hardware

From the benchmarks it ran through correctly

So yeah, the graph and paragraph are both right, it does say "Where it ran through correctly", clearly when it didn't run, it can't have run through correctly, so it's accounting for that.
And where it did run (1600x1200 and 32-bit 1024x768) it was a lot faster than the ATi card.

What's your problem with it, except using card where they meant game?

How can it run better on nVidia hardware when some of the time it doesn't run AT ALL on nVidia hardware???

 

[McArra]

It runs better because it performs better even though that time the system would crash (just an exception probably caused by drivers).

Right... just a problem with the drivers... but still... how can you make a statement like that when it couldn't even completel one of the benchmarks?

In the article, only the 64 bit version didn't work, and that was only at 1024x768. In 32 bit the NVidia cards pounded the ATI ones. I think what the guy said makes perfect sense.

After seeing those results I'm not exactly jumping with joy.

I'm waiting for a bench with a 64bit game instead of using 32bit game
