Title: Gforce SDR really better than a tnt2 ultra ?
Post by: dudul- on May 03, 2000, 06:46:00 PM

in 1024x768 32 bits.mipmas 12 levels
at this time I have a celeron 400 oc 450.128 MO.
have tested with a b17 on field engine idle
with map on get 17-18 fps online
(note it's the worse fps I get).
can anybody with a gforce SDR or DDR make the same test ?
BTW a time demo will be fine for Ah with a film..

thanks for help

TNT2 Ultra has a higher clock rate than the GeForce.  Hence at lower resolutions it outperforms the GeForce.  (If you are looking to buy a GeForce card, don't buy a SDR if you can afford the DDR.  SDR has half the max memory bandwidth of the DDR.  This can really slow down the card at higher resolutions.)
