NVIDIA GeForce 256 DDR

The 1600 x 1200 scores you see above won't change all that much as we cycle through the various processors. The DDR GeForce finally separates itself from the Rage Fury MAXX but not by a huge amount.

The Savage 2000 finally moves up the ladder as a result of its efficient memory management, with some driver tweaks for D3D performance it wouldn't be surprising to see the Savage 2000 perform even better. Keep an eye on this card, if S3 can get their act together with their next driver update (due out in January), the Savage 2000 may end up being the "low-cost" (compared to the GeForce and other cards in its class) high performing card that we were promised on paper a few months ago.

The native Glide support can only do so much for the Voodoo3 cards, at 1600 x 1200 the cards begin to show their limits as they fall down below the average performing TNT2 Ultra.
