What does everybody thing needs to be looked at when the Parhelia is finally reviewed?
Im thinking along the lines of:
Quake3 at low res/detail
Quake3 at highest res/detail possible
That will show us what type of performance drop we get. And show a little bit about driver maturity.
Then I would like to see that UT2003 demo thing that Anandtech has, showing what it can do for modern games.
I suppose 3dMark, just so we can tell how powerful the PS/VS are.
There is a AA comparison done here:
And I would like to see the Parhelia put through these tests with both FAA and 4XFSAA
The hardware AA fonts should be looked at in comparison to the Microsoft software ones, and see if the gamma correction makes much difference.
I would also like to see some benchmarks that have low/average/high fps readings done, at different resolutions and details levels. This would be very interesting to see in relation to the competition.
Surround gaming I think would be VERY hard to review. What else could you say except it looks cool. Without the reader having 3 monitors to try for themselves, its a little pointless. (my opinion anyway).
2D quality will need to be looked at. Im assuming its going to be leaps and bounds ahead of everything else though.
Im also curious as to how noisy the fan is on the card. A lot of people now days are going to the trouble of making their computers as quiet as possible, I know I am (water cooling without OCing!), and I would find a one paragraph impression interesting.
What else should be looked at?
