23.12 drivers for GeForce3

[Morbid]

I have a 3D Prophet III (the original GeForce3) and I benched 3DMark2001 at lowest settings possible, those being:

Res: 640x480, 16bit color
No AA
Double fram buffer
Texture - Z-Buffer both 16bit
D3D Pure Hardware T&L

With 23.11 drivers = 8118 3D Marks
With 23.12 drivers = 8628 3D Marks

If you already haven't picked these up.. head on over to Guru3D (http://www.guru3d.com) and get 'em. Clearly a performance upgrade. :burn:

Just thought I would let people know if they don't know already, if you do know.. ignore this post ;)

-Edit #2- Sorry Yodums, didn't know. Anyway, here's the bench at default... http://gamershq.madonion.com/compare2k1.shtml?2538558

These drivers were leaked sometime ago.

Although you should bench at default so you can actually compare to other peoples benchmark as they won't all run on the lowest setting they want to see what their card is preforming when its being put to the real test.

Looks like these drivers are giving all kinds of results. For me, the 23.12's reduced my 3DMark2001 score 3000 points! No, you read right, not 300, but 3000! I have no idea why. I uninstalled them and immediately went back to 23.11's. Now I'm back up in the high 7000 to mid 8000's depending on my overclocking.
