GeForce3 Benchmarks

If you were a little dissapointed at the fact that none of the previews of this morning actually had benchmarks, Digit-Life should help you out. They managed to obtain some early engineering samples, and with the 10.50 Detonator drivers they were able to test the card in several programs and games, such as Quake3. As no games have been specifically programmed to use the DirectX8 / GeForce3 features, the speed increase is minimal, especially in lower resolutions. However you can turn on FSAA or anisotropic filtering for better image quality while maintaining a nice speed. A few scores from a P3 1Ghz machine
