Drivers (cont.)



One nifty thing you can also do with the monitor settings tab is actually modify each specific setting of your monitor.



Notice how you can change anything from the refresh rate in 1Hz increments to the Pixel Clock itself. The Elsa drivers are extremely customizable. We appreciate the work that has gone into the drivers. Elsa also includes its Winman control center. A small applet that sits in your system tray and puts all the settings right at your finger tips.

Overall, Elsa's drivers are very well done and include a lot of features that the Detonators leave out. We can't wait until nVIDIA releases official 5.x Detonators for Elsa to use.

Benchmarks

We're used Mad Onion's 3Dmark 2000 and id Software's Quake III Arena to test the Elsa Gladiac's performance.

Test systems:

Asus P3B-F motherboard

Athlon 800MHz @ 856MHz
Asus K7M c1.04 motherboard
