HSR efficiency on different cards in real life applications

[Nappe1]

Um, Z compression isn't HSR, is it?

well, it isn't but we are running these tests with similar settings that parhelia will them run.

Maskrider: big thanks about those... but could you once more run with 27.xx drivers, please?

hmmh...
if those results don't change with 27.xx, it looks like Parhelia could be able to take at least 3DMark crown, until 3DMark 2002 / 2003 comes out.

The earliest one that I have is 27.51 which is on the ELSA 925 driver CD.

Starting from 27.xx, the option is not available, I wrote it wrong in my last post.

Here are the sentense in the readme of RivaTuner

Disabled the 'Enable early Z-occlusion culling' option for the Detonator 27.xx and higher. New drivers ignore this setting and always use early Z-occlusion culling on GeForce3 and higher.

Hint: you're on the internet, right? It isn't generally that hard to find stuff around these parts... ^_~

The latest one before 27.xx that I can find from Guru3d.com is 26.53, which does not support GeForce4.
