ATI Radeon 32MB SDR

MDK2 starts off with a much different picture than what we saw under Quake III Arena, the three NVIDIA cards completely dominate at the lower resolution. Once again, at this resolution fill rate and memory bandwidth limitations aren't factors, instead drivers and hardware T&L play the largest roles here, as well as vendor specific optimizations.

As the GeForce2 MX's limited memory bandwidth becomes a factor, it drops far from the ranks of its two elder brothers however it still holds a 10% lead over the Radeon SDR.

The Voodoo4 4500, once again, is no competition for either of the two boards.

Once again, at 1600 x 1200 x 32 the Radeon SDR maintains a 24% performance lead over the GeForce2 MX, and again it is performing more like a GeForce DDR or Voodoo5 5500 than the GeForce2 MX. In comparison to its DDR counterpart, the Radeon SDR is about 25% slower.
