NVIDIA GeForce 256 DDR

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.
