New Forceware Drivers

Everybody knows about Nvidias problems with AA and AF. Well i just installed the new 62.11 betas and i found a bit of a shocking discovory. Under the advanced options we now see a setting that says anisotropic filtering optimizations.....off. Anyone done benches with this yet. I will be posting my findings shortly. However, im not good at spotting IQ degradation. Is there any way i can take a screen capture and put it somewhere where everyone can see it?

Well i dont think i did this right and the only thing that i have that i can use AF on is Aquamark. I ran everything at default settings with AF at 4x which is max. (this is the demo).

Defaults 4xAF Optimizations Off
GFX 4845
CPU 6936
__________
35902

Defaults 4xAF Optimizations On

GFX 4833
CPU 7012
__________
35952

I did not restart machine in between setting changes. I close out of all oopen programs. Tests run on a Geforce FX5900XT at default clocks.

Edit: Anyone else who can run a decent benchmark suite please do!
 
I need someone to bench with a more reliable suite. Im not too familiar with aquamark. Someone who has a game and can do that would be really nice.

The aquamark demo doesnt allow you to choose AF in the control panel as far as I know. When you run the demo it says AF: 2x no matter what you choose in the nvidia control panel. 50 points is a possible change between runs - well within a standard deviation.

Gamingphreek There is a review that has shown this difference already but I cannot for the life of me think of where it was. If I remember I will PM you.
 
Well does anyone have a couple games that they could bench with and without optimizations. If they would it would be a big help!!

I guess you didn't use the 61.71 drivers which was the first driver release to have the anisotropic optimisation option (btw since when did optimisations have a z in it?) 😉

Can't do any benchmarking right now because I'm in work! 🙁
 
Probably allows you to disable the angle dependent AF that is similar to ATIs. So if somebody is an IQ freak they can get the best in quality.

This is a good move by Nvidia IMO.

Since forever (well, at least for quite some time anyway).

If you are going to correct someone, at least double check first (although I guess it could be a regional difference).

BTW, what language is this, and what does it mean?
"Y Ddraig Goch ddyry gychwyn!"

Is that Welsh?

Oh, sorry for the off topic post BTW.

-D'oh!

"optimizations was not found in the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary"
"optimisations was not found in the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary"

Hmmm so much for improving my English? 🙁

Cambridge Dictionaries Online

Y Ddraig Goch ddyry gychwyn! is welsh and it doesn't translate well into english because I would be banned if the mods knew what it means! 😉
