Still using Vista
Ultimate like the previous entry we preview the
reference 8800GT 256MB.
The system installed SP1 beta V6.58, and
opened Aero effect. Driver using NV and AMD’s
offcial WHQL release. AMD driver is 7.11, it is
different from from the 7.10+hotfix. here is the
download address:
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
256MB/512MB:
169.02 WHQL
NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS 256MB:
163.75 WHQL
ATi Radeon 3850 256MB/3870 512MB:
7.11 WHQL
To eliminate the CPU bottleneck we OC QX9650 to 400MHzX10. In the test only 8600GTS doesn’t support PICe Gen2. There’s total 8 test here but because 169.02 WHQL cheated in Crysis so we did not record the related data in our chart.
