Futuremark 3DMark Vantage

Trying to minimize the CPU influence in 3DMark Vantage we used the Extreme profile (1920x1200, 4x FSAA and anisotropic filtering).

Single-processor Nvidia solutions have barely reacted to the change in the driver version, while dual-processor GeForce GTX 295 worked the fastest with version 182.08. If we take a closer look at the final score of the graphics benchmarks, we will see that version 185.85 is the slowest, even though the difference from the leader here is only 213 points.

The results of individual benchmarks do not reveal anything new: the performance of all three Nvidia driver versions is practically the same. The only exception is 1920x1200 resolution in the first test confirming what we have already seen in final score diagrams.
