G400 Max On Difference CPU ..........

[Norman Chan]

Anyone can input their benchmark or any other performance feedback on the G400 Max if were to use on difference CPU speed.
Example like using on a Celeron as compare to a PIII and a Duron and a TB.

If you search this forum, you'll find tons of benchmarks listed in various topics.

It seems that i was running all this time on Agp x1

My new scores on AGPx2 (my MAX is a AGP x2 one):

800x600x16 3DMark 99 Pro :

6969 3Dmarks
16003 CPU 3DMarks

1024x768x16 3DMark 2000:

3368 3Dmarks
264 CPU 3dMarks

You made my jaw drop with the benchmark. From your benchmark meaning the G400 Max is as good as a GeForce2 if use with a top class CPU speed. Is this correct ? Or do you have any benchmark of the same CPU speed with any GeForce card ?
Well , I think it's time to upgrade to a 1 ghz CPU ..........

Without optimization of my system in any way, my Prophet II GTS 64 MB card scored 5000 on 3DMark2000 in W2K. Cpu was PIII 800 @ 960 MHz (120 MHz fsb) on ABIT BE6. My MAX cannot match that.
