D3DAFTester
Although it’s not a benchmark in and of itself, D3DAFTester is a great diagnostic tool to see if there has been any sort of global change in anisotropic filtering quality, and if so, what kind of impact that change offers. Before we settle down with the benchmarks, it’s best to see if there have been any global changes made to the drivers that would help or harm overall IQ.

In the article you refer to driver revisions 3.4 and 3.6, but the labelling on your axis reads 3.04, 3.06. Took me a couple glances to figure out what you meant.Ryan Smith - Sunday, December 11, 2005 - link
Fixed, we had to improvise on the graphing engine(which has to sort by something) so the 0's were thrown in without thinking to change the article. Thanks.microAmp - Sunday, December 11, 2005 - link
