I have been extolling the virtues of my Miro DC30+ and Rage Fury Pro setup of late.
I have just got my little grubbies on a G400 32mb DH and after plumbing it into my system I have to eat humble pie and say F**K ME SIDEWAYS. Jesus what a difference in terms of 2D & 3D performance.
I knew the g400 was better than the ATi Rage Pro but there's better and there's stuffing it out of the park.
The G400 gives me overlay support at 1280*1024*32bpp, lovely chubley.
I reinstalled a copy of GPolice that I had to hand and at 1280*1024*32 I am getting getting between 40 and 75 FPS, good god what a difference. I might even start playing the odd game again.
As I type this post I am downloading a 75Mb benchamrk utility at 128K via BT Home Highway, watching a Bee Gees DVD and have a copy of MS Word 2000 running in the background. The output from the DVD player is superb ( would be even better if I could figure out how to get round the Macrovision crap or the the 5 region changes ).
Don't get me wrong, I still think my DC30+ stuffs the pants of all the Marvel products ( RT200 well that's a diff story ) but as far as main vid card goes the G400 is a serious bit of shit.
Pooh
