Smeg I must dig out that 586 board right away.Seriously tho' what a fine idea there must be thousands of integrated graphics boards that would fly with an upgrade like that 1300% is mind blowing.

It's just a meaningless 3DMark score and the comparison is against the despised Intel GMA 915, a chipset so anemic Intel is embarrassed to admit they can't get it to run Vista's Aero. These cards sound spiffy as troubleshooting tools and that's about it. Maybe for Vista-based Kiosk presentations too. 3rd and 4th monitor usage, believe it when you see it. If you really want several monitors, use DisplayPort. |

To put that glowing 3DMark06 score from that review in perpective (which looks to be about 1150 with the test rig and their 8600GT 256Mb card), before I upgraded my wife's system to an Opteron 185 she was running a single core San Diego 1Mb L2 2.4Ghz unit with a 64bit Diamond HD2400 PCIe card that set me back $40. It got 1150 in the 3DMark06 default run. The card is still in her system, but now it gets 1425 with the Opteron 185 at 2.8Ghz. Their testbed is a P4 520 2.8Ghz 1Mb L2 rig with 1gig DDR2 and XP. And it got 1150 in 3DMark06 with a 128bit 256Mb 8600GT??? Not what I'd be bragging about.... |
