It was decided to use 3D Mark 2001, Vulpine GL, and Serious Sam to do the benchmarks. Two standard benchmark utilities and one that is relatively unknown for benchmarking. Serious Sam may seem a bit unorthodox, but has some great statistics in it along the lines of benchmarking.

Let's get ready to rumble!!!

3D Mark 2001 Benchmarks

Initial scores for this benchmark were much lower than expected.  After some inspection, playing in the settings brought a lot of trouble.  It seems that it was set to forced 4X Anti-Aliasing. The anti-alias settings allow the displayed image to remove the "jaggies" from diagonal lines. So instead of looking like a stair step, it appear more smooth and straight.  This, however, brought the card to it's knees with a 4500 3D Mark score.  However, after changing the setting allowing the application decide what anti-aliasing  setting to use.  Things got back to normal and the card was in the 9000's again.

Vulpine GL

The VulpineGL benchmark performs only openGL testing on cards. The benchmark is useful to get a feel for how cards will perform, however does not test all of the features and functions of today's gaming environment. There is not D3D testing in this software.
