Posted: September 24, 2000 Written by: Tuan "Solace" Nguyen Benchmarks  In Quake 3 Normal mode, which looks pretty good, you see the V7100T performing pretty well. The card and the frame rates stayed above 60FPS render all but the most extreme resolutions. As for 1600x1200, most people don’t yet play at that resolution but I find that the differences in games between 1600x1200 and 1280x1024 are insignificant, even on my 22" monitors. You’ll definitely be happy playing at 1280x1024. This is a personal preference and another one to go along with that is I think FSAA is unnecessary for these types of games.  Here we see more of the same trends as before. The V7100T takes quite a big hit when Quake 3 is in High Quality mode. Performance goes down by 40%. Overall the performance of the card is mild, but then again you must take into consideration how much the card actually costs. For this kind of performance at the current price (MX cards generally cost around $100 to $130), you can’t beat it. Analysis The V7100T has everything you need to get the job done. All video connectors are built onboard and no add-on piece was jammed onto the card. You have your VGA out, s-video out and composite out. The only thing that’s missing is digital out for flat screen LCDs which if you are a gamer, you’re not likely going to be using. 3D performance was very good for a card in this price range and with all the extra features onboard, you won’t go wrong. |
