De jongens en meisjes van Sharky Extreme vonden het grappig om een GeForce 256 DDR Guide in elkaar te knutselen (don't ask me waarom ze dit een guide noemen en geen normale p/review). Uit de benchmarks komt wederom naar voren dat de GeForce nog steeds behoorlijk CPU afhankelijk is, hoewel minder dan de TNT2. Snel issie zeker, vooral de DDR versie:
At the end of the day, the DDR board is dead fast. Faster than a speeding bullet? Right now it is, yes. And remember, we do play the likes of Quake 3 and Unreal Tourney a lot. We'll take it and recommend any bloke/lassie with a sugar mummy (or daddy we don't discriminate here at SE) slots one into their gaming machine providing you live and die by frame rates. When using a DDR GeForce 256 on an Athlon 650MHz, you can easily sustain frame rates above 100fps in Quake 3 on the 'NORMAL' setting (impressive), which is of course so important for those multiplayer sessions. 1024x768 in Quake 3 is very playable. With a TNT2 Ultra (the previous best), Quake 3 could get jittery at 1024x768x32 when in the midst of a melee you move from an enclosed environment back to an outdoor one. With the GeForce 256 DDR, there was no 'jerkyvision' and just fluid, fast gameplay. If I were a Quake-champ (more like chimp) I wouldn't leave home without one (for want of a better pun).
