All of the cards lose some of their horsepower as we make the move down to the Pentium III 600, but the standings remain the same. Once again, the Savage 2000 loses very little performance from the move to 32-bit color because of the aforementioned points of conserving memory bandwidth. There also seems to be some driver tweaking in play here as S3/Diamond must have really concentrated on performance in situations of high memory bandwidth usage.
The performance of the Rage Fury MAXX here is definitely being limited by its drivers, but these are the final shipping drivers so don't expect performance to change until the next driver update.
The performance situation at 1024 x 768 and 1600 x 1200 with the Pentium III 600E is virutally identical to that with the Pentium III 700.

So, Anand was ranting about a top GPU from nvidia costing only 300$artk2219 - Thursday, April 13, 2017 - link
Hey man, thats like $432.87 as of January 2017 or pretty much the same, $428.93 in your time of July 2016 time traveler. Either way, Vega needs to put the smack down on Nvidias pricing, and you can stick that in your bucket young whipper snappers of the future. :Dartk2219 - Sunday, November 18, 2018 - link
Sadly Vega didn't do anything, here's looking at you Navi. Nvidia needs a smack down on their pricing more than ever.Doogiehowser99 - Wednesday, March 31, 2021 - link
Everyone would kill for Pascal pricing in 2021. What would 2000 Anandtech say about Nvidia flagship GPUs going for $2000. That's way above inflation. LolCHADD44 - Tuesday, February 15, 2022 - link
2022 and this still dominates gpu market
