| Testing the
3D Prophet DDR-DVI |
Benchmarks
At this part of the review you must be a bit bored by all the technical
info, let us go beyond the theory and check the card out in real life. I
have
benchmarked the GeForce with several programs like X-Bootmark, King pin,
Final Reality, 3D Mark MAX and (the lately much discussed) 3D Mark 2000 on an common used (PII 392 MHz/128MB)
system.
First up is a little global comparison with three benchmarks between
Asus GeForce V6600, 3D Prophet SDR, Voodoo 3, GA-MG400 (Gigabyte's
version of the G400) and TNT-2(a).
These cards are made in the same year/generation.

The results of all benchmarks show
clearly that the 3D Prophet DDR is a card to be reckoned with. It leads
all benchmarks that we have done. All mentioned benchmarks are done in
either 800x600 or 1024x768 resolutions. The GeForce DDR really takes of
in in higher resolutions starting at 1024x768. The kingpin benchmark is
one of those 1024x768 benchmarks, you can clearly see a huge difference
here.
* To clarify things, the digits in the benchmarks have
been narrowed down to 2 digits, so the 'X' Benchmark score is actually
22x10=220 Frames Per Second, an absolute new record.
Also, these
benchmarks do not support hardware T&L. If these games would
support it then the results would blast the other cards away.
On the next page you'll find 3D Mark 2000
results that actually uses Hardware T&L.
