Nvidias questionable GeForce 337.50 driver, or why you shouldnt trust manufacturer-provided numbers

2014-04-08 20:11:24| Extremetech

Yesterday, Nvidia released the GeForce 337.50 beta drivers to much fanfare. Nvidia itself said that the drivers could improve single GPU performance by up to 64%, and SLI configurations by up to 71%. When the Nvidia-provided benchmarks then failed to provide evidence of these massive performance boosts, we were a little skeptical. Then, when we looked closer and saw that Nvidia's numbers specifically targeted on Battlefield 4 and Thief -- two games that AMD has been pushing as the vanguard of Mantle support -- we started to wonder if Nvidia was up to something slightly more sinister than simple number massaging.
