Vipertje schrijft dat de mannen van Thresh's FiringSquad een aantal benchmarks hebben gepost van de GeForce SDR, DDR en de GeForce2 GTS in zowel een Celeron 566 als een Celeron @ 867MHz systeem. Ter vergelijking bleek in de hogere resoluties een Celly 566 met een GeForce2 ongeveer even snel of sneller te zijn dan de Celly 867 met een GeForce DDR. Hieronder een hap uit de conclusie:
As we stated in the intro, we know what it's like living off a small budget. We know that not everyone has $1,000 to upgrade their system every year, or "refresh" their graphics card every 6 months.
With this is mind we doubt many Celeron owners are eager to shell out $350 for a GeForce 2 card, in some cases that can be twice the cost of the processor alone! When you consider that this graphics card offers similar performance to the GeForce DDR in lower resolutions, yet costs $100 less we begin to question the "value" in pairing a GeForce 2 with the Celeron II processor.
On the other hand, the GeForce 2 should easily last you through this Christmas, and probably well into next year. By then 1GHz+ CPU's will be more affordable (as well as more easily available) and even faster graphics processors from 3dfx and NVIDIA should be on the market competing for your dollars. Between now and then more games will be available that will take greater advantage of the GeForce 2 chip, widening the gap between it and the GeForce DDR.
