Hello,
at first I was thinking the Pentium MMX 233 I was testing the original old ATi Rage Pro PCI 4MB SGRAM (four modules version with the Socket for the others 4MB missing modules and the "Rage Pro PCI" chip name while the later driver make it "Turbo" anyway) was limiting its speed but now that I'm trying the same card with a K6-III 400Mhz (on a 430VX/64MB@66Mhz anyway) I was expecting quite better results and instead 3DMark99 score a 192 points (5509 CPU 3DMarks) when the Riva128 PCI 4MB SGRAM result in more than 600 points. I remember the AGP version on a Pentium II was much faster and I was wondering why the PCI version seems so slow than the AGP one (8MB version). I'm trying after a fresh Win 98 and patched installation.
Final Reality result is 3.02 Overall, 3D result is 3.37, 2D is 3.16, Bus score is 1.47.
I was expecting this to be one of the last PCI card that performed better being an AGP oriented chip but not much depending on the bus version. Any info?
Thanks
