Results for Det's and DX9

Driver 7 · Oct 5, 2003, 03:12 PM

OK Guys. Hell that took all night but it seems as though it was worth it. we looked at all of the file changes and all of the regestry changes that were made on my home computer when we Installed the 51.75 Detonator's. To be sure it was not a waste of time, my previous 45.23 drivers were uninstalled and a fresh DirectX9b was installed. After looking at anything that had been Deleted, Changed or Set we concluded that none of the directx9 runtime installer had been modified at all.
Now since there were over 800 000 things that were logged and 400 000 had to accually be compared. To be sure we did not miss anything. Which could have been entirely possible. We reinstalled DirectX while runnung the file monitor and reg monitor. Once again we went over the files. The DirectX install was 100% a waist of time. There was nothing to be changed. there were no added enhancements and no modifacations in my system.
3rd time,s charm so my friend installed a program that scanned all of the files that we had logged and looked for differiences. And the results were the same.
So we the jury find NVidia not only not guilty buy frekin innocent of all charges.
That is no suprise to me however. If there was anything funky going on my benches would bring better results. If anyone wants to see the tools used to conduct the test they are free to download from SysInternals. The File Monitor, and the Registry Monitor, And some other tools that you can find I would have to say are the best tools in the world.

Thx, for your trouble, I would have been very suprised if the results where different.

Yeah well it still doesn't change my opinion, on the nvcard or the tactics of NV itself, but they can only blame themselfs for it, and do not need the "help" of others.
The 5900 being a nice card maybe, but it is overpriced, overrated & underdeveloped.
