Performance
Earlier in this review we told you that the GeForce2 GTS is a good performer, well knowing you you probably want some evidence of that. Therefore we did some tests and took some benchmarks which are made with Dagoth Moor, 3D Mark 2000 (of course!) and Quake III Arena. 

Dagoth Moor
First up, we did some benchmarks with Dagoth moor. I used my new test bed, an Athlon Thunderbird system running at 700 MHz. I chose for this platform since many of you asked us to use an Athlon system with the GeForce for a change. Hey we listen to you guys !

Test System
Gigabyte 7ZX KT133 Mainboard
AMD 700 MHz Athlon Thunderbird
128 MB CAS2 SDRAM (Corsair memory)
Creative SB Live! Platinum
3COM 3C900B-TPO Ethernet Card
Windows 98 Second Edition
DirectX 7.0a
NVIDIA GeForce2 GTS - Driver: Detonator 5.22

We took Dagoth Moor as a benchmark since it's specially designed and developed for the GeForce's Hardware T&L chipset. 

The results will resemble a perfectly good comparison between the power of the GeForce2 MX and it's young brother the GeForce2 GTS. 

Dagoth Moor 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x960 1600x1200
GeForce2 MX 57.8 45.8 34.6 24.7 15.9
GeForce2 GTS 76.9 67.8 54 37.8 26.3
GA GF2000 76.2 66.9 53 37.8 26.4

Well, nothing too special here, the performance of the GeForce2 GTS is right on par with your average GeForce2 GTS and is of course faster than a GeForce MX.
