The GeForce 3 GPU (NV20) has the same theoretical pixel and texel throughput per clock as the GeForce 2 (NV15). GeForce 2 Ultra is clocked 25% faster than the original GeForce 3 and 43% faster than the Ti200; this means that in select instances, like Direct3D 7 T&L benchmarks, the GeForce 2 Ultra and sometimes even GTS can outperform the GeForce 3 and Ti200, because the newer GPUs use the same ...

The GeForce4 Ti (NV25) was launched in February 2002 [1] and was a revision of the GeForce 3 (NV20). It was very similar to its predecessor; the main differences were higher core and memory clock rates, a revised memory controller (known as Lightspeed Memory Architecture II/LMA II), updated pixel shaders with new instructions for Direct3D 8.0a support, [2] [3] an additional vertex shader (the ...
In 2013, tests by Phoronix showed real-world performance of games on Linux with proprietary Nvidia and AMD drivers were mostly comparable to results on Windows 8.1. [200] Phoronix found similar results in 2015, [ 201 ] though Ars Technica described a 20% performance drop with Linux drivers.
