Notes

We have the usual run of the mill tests here today. We tossed in 640x480 on 3DMark2000 to show how little the numbers shift across various resolutions. The high-end CPU should be plenty powerful to push these video cards for the majority of the tests, so that we can see just how these cards perform on the different operating systems.

Update:
We now have Win98SE scores for comparison. We performed all our benchmarks again on fresh installations of Win2K and Win98SE.
