GeForce2: Duo Deluxe (8/12)

Testsystem

Pentium III System:

All benchmarks were run on my standard ASUS CUSL2 (i815E) based testing system. It was equipped with a Intel Pentium III 866E (6,5x133) and 128 MB PC133 RAM. As always, each card was treated to a fresh installation of Win98SE - only a matter of about 2 minutes, thanks to Norton Ghost.

Antec PP303X

Antec’s powerful and reliable Antec PP303X (300W) supplied the system with the necessary power.

Driver versions used during testing:

• AOpen PA256 Deluxe - v5.22
• ASUS AGP-V7700 Deluxe - v5.30RC
• Matrox G450 - 6.10.004
• 3dfx Voodoo5 5500 - v1.01.03-beta

Note: I included the G450 due to its great amount of functionality. A G450TV will be introduced shortly, which will have a comparable feature set to these cards, including TV-In and TV-Out. The Voodoo 5 is here for the sake of completeness. A comparison with ATi’s 64MB RADEON would have been very interesting. Unfortunately I don’t currently have one to play with. Since the results I have are a bit on the old side, I decided that including them wouldn’t be a fair representation of the card’s performance.
