I've read something like this before, but I'd like to see it quantified. In other words compared to Banshee/V3 etc (or even an S3 Trio). Any DN3D SVGA/XGA/SXGA/UXGA benchmark out there? I couldn't find one.. OTOH, almost too many quake benches! 😀
No Tualatin, but I find this though: http://gona.mactar.hu/v1000/
~20fps at XGA, not there yet.
Quake 1: http://www.vgamuseum.info/index.php/benchmark … tware-rendering
DN3D at 1024x768 is quite demanding, I doubt a K6-3 can do very much better. And that's a V1000 PCI, a V2200 AGP will be better.
[EDIT] OK, I looked into this and I'm a bit confused.
According to Gona's benchmarks the K6-III+ is not much faster than either the P166 or the Cyrix. But for each CPU a different mainboard is used which might make a difference.
Still, 22.9 fps equals 17587.2 KB/s and the measures transfer rate is 77568 KB/s so the transfer from RAM to screen buffer should take less than 25% of the available time.
Don't know what's going on here. VESA LFB makes a difference with DN3D but he doesn't say anything about this. V1000 should have VESA 2.0.
The transfer rate is quite good for a PCI card IMO. I remember my AGP Rendition V2200 reaching or exceeding 133MB/s, the theoretical maximum for PCI cards.
