  • Parhelia vs G400MAX?

    All the benchmarks of of the Parhelia that I've seen were against nVidia's various offerings. This is reasonable given that they're the leader in 3D performance.

    What I want to know it, how much will my 3D (think FPS games) performance improve when I upgrade from my current G400MAX to a retail Parhelia?

    Can anyone point to a 3D performance comparison of these 2 products?

    Thanks.

    they benchmark against a g400max.
    This sig is a shameless atempt to make my post look bigger.

        Yeah, looks like a severe problem with driver performance.
        OTOH this gives some hope that the card hardware-wise might not be that slow after all.

          if anything it shows that the g400 is the sweetest card ever
          no matrox, no matroxusers.

              Dungeon Siege is CPU-bound -- the graphics card doesn't affect performance nearly has much as the CPU does. I just upgraded from P3 to Athlon, and here are my results with my G400Max:


              Pentium 3 504 MHz (112 MHz FSB)

              Dungeon Siege 1024x768x32 21.05 fps
              Quake 3 800x600x32 50.6 fps
              Serious Sam 2 800x600x32 26.8 / 10.4 fps

              Athlon XP 1466 MHz (no OC)

              Dungeon Siege 1024x768x32 44.56 fps
              Quake 3 800x600x32 61.4 fps
              Serious Sam 2 800x600x32 41.4 / 19.7 fps


              So if Dungeon Siege is what you're playing, get a beefier CPU instead of a new video card.
