Test Setup:
- EPoX 8KHA+
- AMD Athlon XP 1900+
- 512MB PC2100 Crucial DDR
- Sound Blaster Live! Platinum 5.1
- Linksys LNE100TX
- Windows 2000 SP2
- Nvidia 22.50 drivers
- Via 4.37 4-in-1 Driver
For the tests I used Windows 2000 SP2, the newest 4-in-1 drivers, and decided to use the 22.50 drivers from nVIDIA rather than the 15.20 set that came on the install CD. For all of the benchmarks I used 32bit color and had everything at the highest quality settings. FSAA was off and so was Vsync.
Even though 3DMark 2000 is somewhat outdated I decided to benchmark with it anyways.
This card does quite well especially for its stock clock speed. But as you can see when I did the 1600×1200 benchmark the scores dramatically dropped.
At 800×600 and 1024×768 this card does exceptionally well, but at 1280×1024 and 1600×1200 the FPS drop quite low.
Again the same trend continues where as the FPS drop from 152 to 103 from 1024×768 to 1280×1024.
Serious Sam seems to have done better dropping about the same amount each time the resolution was increased loosing about 20 FPS with each step.
