deltachrome S8 anyone?
« on: March 13, 2005, 11:35:42 AM »
Anyone using a deltachrome S8 in AH2?  If so, how does it work?  I'm just curious because in some benches it matches up well against an ATI 9600 or Nvidia 5700.  What isn't typically tested in benchmarking is cpu load, so it would be interesting to see what kind of AH2 performance you'd get from one of these.  Driver support might be an issue with these cards, but if it runs AH2 and is cheap, it might be an interesting alternative to the usual ATI/nvidia cards at the low-end price point.

Just thought I'd ask...  Skuzzy?  Anyone you know of running one of these in AH2?  We always recommend the 9600 series as the low-end solutions, but this might be an interesting alternative if anyone has practical experience with it.
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.

I would be concerned about driver support.  I have heard there have been numerous issues with drivers in other games.
They seem slow to fix them.

If ATI pulls off what they say they are going to do, it may be a moot point.  Next couple of months might get interesting.
