Timedemo benchmarks for Geforce 2 MX
Here we go
Test System: AthlonXP 2000+ 512Mb generic RAM Geforce 2 MX (All numbers in fps) 640x480 low detail - 8.2 640x480 med detail - 8.2 640x480 high detail- 7.8 800x600 low detail - 5.5 I didn't go further with that because it was starting to look like a slideshow and was taking too long to complete Now I decided to try some advanced setting tweaks. I turned off each setting one by one to see what performance boost I would get. All at 640x480 and low detail. No Bump Mapping - 8.4 No Shadows - 11.5 (big difference) No High Q Effects - 8.3 No Specular - 11.0 (Big difference again) Now for the big one. All advanced settings disabled (ugly mode) - 17.4 I'm now playing through in "ugly mode" and it is a whole new game. It was only just playable with the auto defaults. Now I might just about be able to survive an online match So there you have it my fellow low spec people. That's how Doom3 will run for you. Not to worry though. Only 2 more days until I'm basking in FX5700 bliss 8-) Cheers! -- Jafar Calley -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- d+ s-:+ a C++++ L++ E--- W++ N++ w-- PE- t* 5++ R+ !tv D+ G e* h---- x? ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ Registered Linux User #359623 http://fatcatftp.homelinux.org |

bliss 8-) ....which, by the way, won't do much either. Of course, you will notice the difference considering the fact what you've been using so far, but for an Athlon 2000+ with 512MB RAM, if I would do graphic card upgrade-only, then I wouldn't go any lower than GF5900XT. |

Unfortunately that is beyond my budget at the moment. The 5700 is just an interim to replace the GF4 ti4200 I fried. It is just about equivalent especially if I overclock it a little. My next main task will be to save up for a cpu upgrade. By that time a 6800 will be around 200 euros I really need to be rid of the GF2. It even makes Enemy Territory a pain to play on some maps. -- Jafar Calley -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- d+ s-:+ a C++++ L++ E--- W++ N++ w-- PE- t* 5++ R+ !tv D+ G e* h---- x? ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ Registered Linux User #359623 http://fatcatftp.homelinux.org |
