Tom's crusher bmark for PIII using TNT2 (1024x768x16): 51 Anand's crusher bmark for PIII using V3-3000 (1024x768): 48 Which is more indicative of multi-player play - crusher or massive? Isn't crusher the one that uses those really huge textures created by S3 to showcase it's texture compression algorithm? Tim

So - ACCORDING TO TOM - the TNT2, at the higher clock speed, at 1024x768 can't ever run faster than 69.1 fps on Quake 2 Timedemo 1 NO MATTER HOW FAST THE CPU IS! That's pretty sad. Of course, if it was a 3dfx card turning in those results he would have splashed it all over his headlines. What are the odds of him repeating those tests with a V3 3500 installed?
