The only way to put a new
videocard to the test is by benchmarking it in as many ways you can try out that card. The
following measurements will be based upon the earlyer mentioned system. The software that
we will be using to test and compare this card is 3D Mark 99, 3D Mark 99 MAX, X-Bootmark,
Final Reality 1.01 and Wizmark. All cards are measured with the same display setting. (in
most cases 800x600x16Bit). Also, all cards that we test are at default settings. Which
mean that we do not overclock them in any way. We honestly believe that 80% of the users
which buy a 3D card simply do not even know what overclocking is and therefor we do not
want to confuse them anymore then needed. For the freaks, memory is clocked at 150 Mhz and
the Core/Engine also is clocked at 150 MHz.
First up, the benchmark results of 3Dmark Pro. The results
are shown in all prefered modes. At the bottom of the benchmark you can find the result
(to compare) of a Magic TNT (1) based card.
As you can see the TNT2 has a significant performance
improvement over the TNT1. How does that show in Frames per second you ask ? Well. Lets us
go to the next page then.
