There you go. Title says all really, it gave me +10 fps in Quake 4, which rocks pretty hard. It'll give you big boosts in Doom3 and other OpenGL games too. Hurrah! :D

A little late, I'd say. But still, impressive. There might be a patch you can get or something Jord.

Games made specifically for nvidia cards (like q4 and d3) use a special technique that nVidia cards can do much better than ATI, simply because the cards were meant to do that well. It involves drawing pixels without a z-axis or something, I'm a bit vague on the details.
No, ATI isn't on par with nvidia in OpenGL, but this hotfix sure helps :heh:
