We've just been told by a loyal reader that Detonator FX has popped up on the Interweb, here (zip file) and we wanted to check our story about it.

Learning that performance could be increased by driver update from 20 to 50 percent was quite unrealistic to us but it seems to us that Nvidia has made a wonder driver to release.

We ran four benchmarks 3dmarks 2001SE and 2003, Aquanox and Quake 3.

3Dmark 2001SE jumped from 7295 to magnificent 10870 which is about a 33 percent increase in speed, while the famous nature test was scoring 32.1FPS and with Detonator FX 44.03 scores 66.1 and so is 50 percent faster than with 43.45 that we used.

In 3D mark03, the score improved from 2197 to 2737 and 600 marks really makes a difference here while the mother nature test result increased from 11.6 to 13.1 FPS.
