We're using the GeForce4 Ti4600 as a baseline comparison to see how far NVIDIA have advanced from their previous generation to GeForce FX. Also, we'll down-clock the board to 400/400 speeds to see how it performs at these rates, which may make for a rough approximation of the types of performance we can expect from the non-Ultra variant of the board products when they become available.

Note, the 42.68 drivers are note available for download and are not WHQL certified. Currently we are unaware of any certified drivers for the GeForce FX 5800.
