| Video Card(s): | Real3D StarFighter (4/8MB - AGP) Shuttle HOT-158 (8MB - AGP) Matrox Millennium II (4MB WRAM - AGP) |
| Bus Master Drivers: | Intel 3.01 |
| Video Drivers: | Intel i740 Reference Drivers Real3D StarFighter AGP Drivers MGA Millennium 4.03.00.3410 |

Ziff Davis Winbench 98 - 2D Performance |

| Business | High End | |||
| Windows NT | Windows 95 | Windows NT | Windows 95 | |
| HOT-158 8MB | Not Run | 137 | Not Run | Not Run |
| StarFighter 4MB | 146 | 142 | 141 | 146 |
| StarFighter 8MB | 152 | 147 | 154 | 145 |
| Millennium II 4MB | 175 | 175 | 184 | 172 |
The HOT-158 takes a backseat to the Starfighter by a few percent in 2D performance, not nearly as noticeable as the performance difference between the Millennium II and both i740 cards however.
Quake 2 - Open GL Performance |

| Timedemo Demo 1 | Timedemo Demo 2 | |
| Windows 95 | Windows 95 | |
| Shuttle HOT-158 640 x 480 | 21.0 | 21.2 |
| StarFighter 4MB 640 x 480 | 26.7 | 25.9 |
| CL Voodoo2 12MB 640 x 480 |
65.6 | 64.0 |
| Shuttle HOT-158 800 x 600 | 17.0 | 17.4 |
| StarFighter 4MB 800 x 600 | 20.8 | 20.9 |
| CL Voodoo2 12MB 800 x 600 |
48.4 | 48.9 |
This time the difference between the HOT-158 and the Starfighter is a bit more obvious, however as the OpenGL ICD nears completion and tests begin to move away from the GL Wrapper they are confined to currently expect that performance gap to decrease in size.
Direct 3D Performance |

| Frame Rate (higher is better) | ||
| Turok (Full Version) | Forsaken (Full Version) | |
| Shuttle HOT-158 640 x 480 | 84.2 | --- |
| Shuttle HOT-158 800 x 600 | 48.0 | 38.03 |
Here's another close call, the Shuttle HOT-158 is just about on-par if not faster than the Real3D Starfighter under Turok and the full version of Forsaken (running the first demo). Quite an impressive piece of work on Shuttle's part.
