In summary, it must unfortunately be stated that today’s high-end cards sometimes make very conspicuous slips. On the one hand, there is the partially very modest performance under Windows XP and on the other hand the confirmed weakness of the current HD 5xxx series when drawing directly under Windows 7. The latter points to an annoying driver error, especially since the trick with the opened and closed windows works reproducibly (see Tom2D test: lines). Nvidia’s GTX285 also has to admit defeat to an onboard graphics often enough.
The onboard chipsets partly do very well, especially the older Nividia chipset nForce630i scores in many areas and the Intel IGPs are also mostly well equipped for 2D applications. The Atom system suffers from the CPU-heaviness of the GDI output and often enough sorts itself in at the end. For a platform that is often used with XP, this is a limitation that has to be taken into account when choosing software.
Even though the GDI is certainly no longer at the top end of the 2D food chain – these values are still relevant for many users.
Note on the benchmark
In the meantime, we are many Windows versions ahead, the nardware has generally changed and the drivers are also no longer at the level of more than 13 years ago. Nevertheless, the program should still run and give nice results, even if they are not very consistent anymore for many reasons. But Just4Fun can be tested and thus round off this series of articles a bit. Have fun!
