  • G550 Benchmarks!

    Haven't seen any game benchmarks using the new beta drivers so I thought I'd post some.

    default settings: 133/166 core/memory
    overclocked settings: 150/188 core/memory

    640X480X16

    o/c 1631

    800X600X16

    Looks like overall D3D does pretty well but the OpenGL ICD is somewhat lacking. I must say though that I play all my games at 1024X768X16 and even OpenGL games play fairly smoothly, including Q3A. It would be nice to see a performance OpenGL ICD like the 3DFX voodoo series of cards have with the WickedGL drivers from Metabyte. The only additional cooling I have for the video card is a Radio Shack fan on the stock heatsink so I think it could do better with additional cooling.

    This is the first Matrox card I've owned since about 3 years ago when I had a Millenium G200 so I'm not sure if these scores are good or bad...I just thought I'd throw them out there for everyone to see...

      They seem about the same as my G400 non-max 32 meg card, and I have a slower processor. I run a P3 @880, and a BX motherboard. Both the Quake3 and the 3Dmark2k1 scores are almost identical. Not too great for a card that is 2 years newer. Of course my card doesnt do head casting. Oh well.
      AMD XP2100+, 512megs DDR333, ATI Radeon 8500, some other stuff.
