we have now had time to test the performance on the 30.20 "buggette" we reported here last week.
Nvidia really got its skates on on this one and sent us an updated driver within 36 hours from our original story.
The updated driver appears to deliver 500+ 3dmarks compared to 28.32 and that difference with and without the splash screen is quite small.
If you run each test 3 times it's 50 to 100 points different which is also not that significant, at least according to Nvidia.
We have some results and detailed charts on our graphics reference platform which includes the best of the Geforce 4 TI 4600 with Gainward 750 XP name on it, Athlon 2000+ the good old Epox 8KHA KT266A board and 3Dmark 2001 SE 330 patched.
