ELSA GLADIAC ULTRA 64MB GeForce2 Ultra

Drivers

ELSA's drivers are pretty much what we've come to expect from a video card manufacturer, nothing too special exists here. What was somewhat impressive was that ELSA did include Linux drivers on their bundled driver CD, however they were the old Detonator2 based 0.9-4 drivers instead of the new Detonator3 based 0.9-5 drivers. Even the Windows 9x/2000 drivers that were bundled with the card were using an older Detonator2 base instead of the latest Detonator3 drivers, this is the unfortunate problem when dealing with manufacturer supplied drivers.

ELSA's taskbar utility is much like other similar utilities by competing manufacturers

A disable VSync feature is available by default, something that isn't present under the Direct3D tab by default in the latest reference drivers.

The ELSA drivers provide for the adjustment of FSAA options however because they aren't based on the newer Detonator3 drivers the utility fails to identify what setting each tic mark corresponds to.

Because ELSA doesn't use the latest Detonator3 drivers, under OpenGL properties, only a single FSAA setting is available (2x2).

Here we see some of the limited application settings available for use by default with the 3D Revelator glasses.
