  • advice on upgrading from G200 please.

    Ive got a G200 which i thought was great in direct3d +2d due to the visual quality.

    Wud it make much of a difference in game performance by upgrading to G400 considering I have a pentII300?

    I play lots of openGL games. Im not looking for the fastest card on the planet but does G400 have a decent frame rate(i hate the washed out graphics of my Voodoo 2)

    BTW - well done all u MURC tech people- i used to visit this board last year when i got my G200 and problems usually went unsolved. You seem to be doin a great job.

      Hi there
      Here´s what you should expect (maybe a tiny bit more, I have a celeron 300A - usually at 450). Anyway, these are the results at 300 Mhz, G400 32Mb at default speed:

      3dmark 800x600x16: 2544
      1024x768x32: 2562

      Quake 2 640x480x16, demo1, 44.6 fps
      1024x768x16, demo1, 43.0 fps
      640x480x16, crusher,22.3 fps

      Quake 3 highest: 25.1 fps
      normal : 26.2 fps
      fast : 29.1 fps

      "suits you sir?"
