The performance of the Pure3D II, as with all Voodoo2 cards out today, falls within a few percent of the competition, eliminating the need to re-run an entire suite of benchmarks spreading across multiple processor platforms.
How I Tested
Wait for VSYNC was disabled during the tests
Canopus' Supplied Pure3D II Drivers were used in conjunction with the Millennium II AGP Drivers
The Memory Clock was set at 100MHz
Quake 2 v3.14 was used; The full version of Turok was used, not the downloadable demo.
