requested a "real world" game benchmark. So
by popular demand...Quake 3. It's a game that really stresses
the video card (as well as the whole system). Quake 3
uses only the Transform part of T&L. With so many
resolutions and display options, it was difficult to decide
on just one. However, I chose "highest" quality
settings (32-bit textures, 32-bit color depth and Trilinear
Filtering) and bumped the resolution up to 1024x768. VYSNC
was enabled.

True
to form, there is about a 6% increase in performance
with the 5.13 drivers. With performance increases across
the board, should you upgrade?
