  • G400 on SS7

    Has anyone got any experience with the G400 and Super Socket 7 mobos. I currently run a G200 on a Gigabyte GA5-AX with AMD K3-450 and all is fine. I want to upgrade to a G400 (when they arrive in the UK) and would appreciate any feedback.

    Yes I have a K6-2/400 and the G400 is doing IMO very well on it. I think the thing that amazes me the most about this card is it's 32-bit performance. Q2 may seem a little on the low side as far as fps goes but it is very smooth and very playable even at 1024x768x32-bit. We have to remember that Q2 was written to take advantage of the FPU of the Intel chip making it not work as well on the AMD.

      Joel, I have the same cpu, I am expecting to upgrade though soonish, I know you probably can't say, but relative to a TNT 1, what kind of numbers are you seeing in D3D stuff?
      Same speed, much faster, nice boost but nothing huge?

      I generally get 2800ish in 3dmark99max with a tnt 1, 29 in tirtanium 1.2 (24 in OpenGL), 29ish in Expendable, real time play around 20 with sound on.

        Hey Himself,

        I need a point of reference. What resolution were those benchmarks done at?

          3dMark99MAX 800x600x16

          For Tirtanium, expendable etc, it doesn't really matter about resolution unless you are going to quote exact numbers. You can toss in scores for Incoming of about 65fps through 55fps in 16 bit all the way down to 35 fps in 1024x768x32.

          What the heck, here:

          Expendable scores:

          K6-2 @ 392MHz (112Mhz bus)
          CL TNT 110 core 125Mhz mem

          Display properties:

          0 mipmaps bilinear best performance
          no mipmap dithering, vsync off, AA off

          Game settings:

          No hardware texture compression
          No use low res movies
          No use vertical sync
          use triple buffering
          Use hardware AA
          No use stencil buffering
          Al Gore on
          mip mapping on
          lens flare on
          corona on
          shadow disk
          frame lock off
          video texture on
          bump mapping on
          detail level high
