GeForce256 Benchmarks

Got a literal flood of emails pointing out this Korean website which has published some of the first known benchmarks of the NVidia GeForce256 card running Quake2 and Q3Test as compared to a TNT2 Ultra board. Thanks ThreadZ. The card is showing up as only about 10% faster in 800x600 in Quake2 surprisingly. The GeForce seems to only really make a larger difference at higher resolutions looking at these marks:

GeForce256 800x600 = 58.3fps 1024x768 = 56.0fps TNT2 Ultra  800x600  = 51.6fps 1024x768 = 38.7fps

  • shutup you goddamn dirty humans!

    Anyway,back on topic, WTF is up with those scores? My guess is that they DID leave v-sync enabled somewhere. The fillrate on the nv10 may not be a gigapixel, but its still much higher then a tnt2, those lower res timedemos should be scream\'n, they must have done *something* wrong to be getting scores so similar. like 22 said:
    \"\"After the completion of the benchmarking, it is regrettable that we could not conduct the test
    under variable conditions and that we did not check the various effects.\"

    AKA we don\'t know what we did, we just ran timedemo.\"
