Not too bad, eh ?
(especially the 2MB texture rendering speed made me )

Hi!

I thought that the G400 would be faster?

My ATI Rage Fury can go nearly about the same or slightly higher than your score.

May be since you are not using the Max and not overclocking your G400, right?

Hi Manoj !

What CPU do you use ?

I think I'm limited by my Celery ...

My G400 is upped to 201 MHz MemClock via PowerStrip.

Also this was done with the public drivers ... the latest beta ones are even faster.

And could you post your results from that ATI ?

I guess not

[Guyver]

Here's mine with my G200....

640x480 16Bit Default options... 4010 3DMarks, 9048 CPUMarks

800x600 16bit Default options... 2981 3DMarks, 9018 CPUMarks

Check out the new Sig!

Here are my scores using my Voodoo 3:

800x600, 16-bit color (Default settings):
3DMarks: 5098
CPUMark: 7908

System:
Pentium III 504 (112 MHz x 4.5)
256 MB PC133 RAM (LGS)
Western Digital Expert 18 GB
3dfx Voodoo3 2000 (o/c'ed to 175 MHz)

Not to shabby, eh? Imagine what a G400 MAX can do in a nice little system like this one

LOL

The G200 is outperforming the G400 ... is that interesting or what ?

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that Guyver used the old version of 3DMark ... +9000 CPUMarks is way beyond all other results seen in the web.
(Even though his CPU is about to melt to due heavy OC'ing - good job, btw.)

A 40% performance hit doing trilinear filtering? ouch... now that´s bad

[Scytale]

Guyver, did you know that by lowering the L2 latency you may have actually degraded performance?
You may even need to up it to improve overclocked performance...

[Guyver]

Thanks, Scytale... Will try out different latencies and see what shakes...

Maggi, Thanks.. Haven't been on the Intel side of the fence in a while.. Just hopped back about a month or so ago, it's been kind of fun. I've had tremendously good luck with my components so far...

[rubank]

Maggi,

can you explain the entry:

"Anisotropic Texture Filtering Speed = Not supported",

Matrox said G400 supports anisotropic filterng. Am I missing something here?

[arbymo]

Guyver .. did u try 133 FSB ??
can your PIII run at that speed ?? ( 600 ) or does the memory limit you ??
i guess your lucky runnig your Adaptec at that speed .. did you do any tweaking for that ??
about the latency subject .. i just did some tests using the latency program by H.Oda ..
i lowered the latency to 1 and did some processor and ram benchs. and upped it to 15 and did the same tests .. very very small performance difference in the ram test ...
no stability diff. either
in my opinion just leave the latency as it is
i leave mine at 5.
