I downloaded 3D Mark 05 to compare the WarCat 5.11 and the Omega 5.12 drivers. The 3 game tests ran at 7-8 fps and looked really nice, with sweet effects and were "soft" (even though AA was off). Then came the CPU tests which rendered two of the previous game test scenes, but with worse graphics, "ripped" edges and cheaper effects. They ran at 1-2fps.
My question is, how do the CPU tests work. Despite having worse graphics, they perform worse. It's a bit confusing. How can they put the strain on the CPU if it's the GPU that's responsible for rendering?
