Firingsquad heeft een preview van de GeForce 256 reference kaart met DDR SGRAM gepost. Uiteraard gooide men er ook meteen een blije collectie benchmarks tegenaan, helaas echter maar tot 1024x768 zodat de GeForce DDR niet de kans krijgt om zijn ware potentieel naar buiten te plassen. Desondanks in Quake3 toch wel erg strakke framerates (1024 tegen 100fps!):
eady for this? 1024x768 is now free in fastest! The identical scores for both GeForce cards look a little peculiar. We really don't want to say that it's CPU dependant until we do a little more testing with other processors. Look for an update later this week.On a whim we decided to try overclocking the AGP bus to see if we could squeeze out any more performance. We increased the AGP bus from 66MHz to 100MHz by changing the AGP clock ratio from 2/3 to 1/1. Most current generation video cards can't handle a 100MHz AGP bus, but the GeForce took it in stride. The increase in AGP bus speed didn't yield any improvements in framerate, so we decided to try upping the FSB.
