I dropped 3DMark99Max (DX6) because some cards gave out errors (TNT2 M64 and G450). It will be interesting to compare results. for most 16 MB cards) for all cards and 1280x1024x32 for cards with 32 MB+. For low res, I am testing at 800圆00x16, for hi-res, I am testing 1152x864x32 (max. I have a test matrix started and am testing 3DMark2000 for Direct3D and GLQuake/Quake II/III for OpenGL. When i'm done i will repeat this test on an Ali socket7 board with a k6-2 450 or maybe a k6-3 450. I will test v1, banshee, v3, v4, v5 and a matrox g400 also. I already did v2 sli and it is king on this setup in 800圆00, getting a 10% higher score than any of the Nvidia cards. I will start testing 3dfx cards and see how they compare. (16bit, so i can compare 3dfx)ĢTi gets free 4xAA at 1024x768 (same score as without AA)ĤTi gets free 4xAA, 8x AF and 1280x1024 (same score as 1024x768 without AA)Īs the p3-450 is more powerfull than any k6 cpu i think the scores will be lower but the conclusion the same. They ofcourse score higher at 450mhz but again ALL are equal at 800圆00 (cpu bound).Īt 1024x768 the tnt and tnt2 m64 get a hit, but from geforce2 mx and higher ALL scores are equal at 1024x768. At 800圆00 ALL cards are about equal with the cpu at 300mhz. Up to now i have tested tnt, tnt2 m64, geforce2 mx400, geforce 2Ti, mx440 and geforce4 ti4200 128mb. I'm in the process of testing a few cards on a p3-450 (at 300mhz and 450mhz). I don't think there will be any gain in fps, the cards are simply waiting for the cpu. Both should work with a K6-3+ if you use an older driver for the GF2. If I disregard the cards in your list I'd say the best PCI VGA card is either a Voodoo3 or a GF2(MX), depending on the game. It's possible that it'll run slower at lower resolutions with a K6-3+, though.Ī Kyro is at least as fast as a TNT2, if not much faster depending on the game, but you didn't mention that as an option. The G450 is generally faster than an M64, mainly because it uses DDR RAM which somewhat compensates its 64bit RAM interface. The TNT and the M64 should trade blows (M64 has more fillrate but less bandwidth), the M64 might be preferable since it should run cooler. You did read … _3_and_GLINT_R3? "Gaming performance-wise, the Permedia 3 and GLINT R3 are both slower than even NVIDIA's RIVA TNT and ATI's Rage 128 GL (both released several months earlier) in most situations, and they are definitely no match for the RIVA TNT2 or 3dfx's Voodoo3." I suppose you already checked driver support for all cards? I wouldn't go later than GF2, may GF4(MX) - with that CPU there is not much point in having pixel shaders. Regarding the GF6200: That's too new, older Geforce cards should run faster in most cases.
