October 1998 - Super7 3D Video Accelerator Comparison

That's some incredible performance produced by the "king of all 3D accelerators," as the Voodoo2 comes in a clean last place.  Is $150 for a 3D-only accelerator worth the investment from the perspective of a Pentium MMX user?  Obviously not.  The winner here from a price point perspective is the Banshee, for $90 the Banshee isn't too bad of a deal here, although keep in mind it won't be too much of an improvement in terms of 3D performance for a Rendition V2x00 owner...not even from an image quality perspective as the V2x00 has always been known for outstanding visual quality.

Looks like we've hit rock bottom in terms of Riva TNT performance as the frame rate doesn't change from the 14.9 we saw earlier with the Pentium MMX.  However, the rest of the competition took a shift downwards. 

...and the final standings with the K6-2 300 are as we've come to expect from the Slot-1 Pentium II tests of the roundup earlier this month, the TNT and 128 give 3Dfx a run for their money as a result of SiN's nature as a multi-textured benchmark.
