Diamond Monster3D-2 Voodoo2

The performance of the Monster 3D 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

• Diamond Supplied Monster 3D II Drivers were used in conjunction with the Millennium II AGP Drivers

• The Memory Clock was set at 93MHz

• Quake 2 v3.14 was used (with AMD 3DNow! Drivers if necessary); The full version of Turok was used, not the downloadable demo.

I would definitely call these numbers more than just "playable" frame rates.  The only test that seemed to give the Monster 3D II a hard time was running Unreal at 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768 (SLI), in both cases, the faster system among the Pentium II/K6-2 test units seemed to be the K6-2.   While Unreal has yet to attain a Timedemo-like function to achieve accurate frame rates, you can't fool the gamer when it comes to the look and feel of a title like Unreal, and it does seem to look and feel better on a K6-2 running with Dual Monster 3D II's (in comparison to a Pentium II - 400).
