  • G400 Vanilla Benchmarks

    Greetings!

    I realize that WinTune is not an industry standard benchmarking app, but I was curious on performance of the G400 vanilla and how it stacks up against my old G200...Don't laugh, here are both 16 bit and 32 bit color scores:

    G400 16 Bit Color 32 Bit Color

    2D 123.06 MPS 82.8 MPS
    Direct 3D 174.06 MPS 110.44 MPS
    3D Null Dri Speed 96.78 96.86
    3D Driver Speed 67.75 67.17
    Open GL: 140.08 MPS 89.09 MPS

    In 2D, my old G200 would top out at 82 MPS in 16 bit and drop into the 50s in 32 bit. 3D is laughable enough that I won't even post. BTW...my G200 was the Millenium with 8 mb of SGRAM.

    In comparison to the TNT2's that were tested with the same processor as mine (400 MHZ Pentium II not overclocked...16 bit color for G400 on average was about 15% faster in all categories. Go to Windows Magazine and check for yourself...

    My curiosity is somewhat satisfied...anyone know how to run FPS using Descent 3?

    Isn't their reference system currently a P II 400 with a G200 video card?

    I went to WinTune after I installed my 16MB G400 OEM card 07/25 as my old Permedia 2 always got pasted in that area.

    Not anymore.

      My 3D speed was roughly 40% of what the G400 can do. TNT2 didn't even compare to the G400. Perhaps some of it has to do with the way you set it up. I can't imagine what this card will be like when the drivers mature a bit more.

        Well the G400 is definitely much faster than the G200(I just upgraded to...).The fact that it can be easily clocked to G400max speed is nice as well. I wonder why they chose to include a techdemo that runs rather slowly? It is rather graphics intensive but speed sells!

          Because if you go into free flight mode and look up the fairy's skirt you will see see is wearing no panties.

            "I can't imagine what this card will be like when the drivers mature a bit more."

            Outdated.
