In the early 2000s Nvidia was lagging behind ATI in performance, causing them to panic a bit about losing their stranglehold on the graphics card industry. As a quick attempt to "catch up" they set their drivers to disable common graphical options automatically, despite what the game called for. The real genius was that they set it up so that it would re-enable all those effects for a single frame if it caught the system trying to take a screenshot. (This of course being a time before streaming high quality comparison videos were feasible)

What you ended up with were benchmarks that claimed not only that Nvidia was faster, but that enabling antialiasing and texture filtering had little to no performance hit and comparison screenshots showed that image quality was equal or better than their competitor.
