Neverwinter Nights: Shadow of Undrendtide Performance no AA/AF
The benchmark didn't change from the previous article, and simply consisted of the first in game cut scene in the expansion pack.
We can see that NVIDIAs old drivers just inched out ATIs performance, while the 52.14s help the both NVIDIA cards extend their lead to a significant one. The 52.14 series had the added bonus of smoothing out some random bumps in the road, and image quality is top notch across both drivers.

Um...Why was there nothing noting the difference between nVidia and ATI's in the IQ section? nVidia looks absolutely horrid compared to the ATI.

I saw more opinions in this article leaning towards Nvidia, especially around the Tomb Raider benchmarks. More specifically, starting with the page regarding compilers. I liked this articles, but there could have been less opinionated viewpoints on this. Also, it might be better if we get names of authors with what they typed, so we know who typed what, because some of this sure didn't sound like something Mr. Shimpi has written in the past...Anonymous User - Tuesday, October 7, 2003 - link
