ULTIMATE HARDWARE = CPU REVIEWS, MOTHERBOARD REVIEWS, PERFORMANCE DATABASE AND VIDEO CARD REVIEWS |
3DFX's merger with STB opened up the OEM market in a big way, previously 3DFX was a small time player in a market which was dominated by companies like SIS. The main difference between the Velocity 100 and the Voodoo3 range was that the Velocity 100 was supplied with 8MB memory instead of 16MB and the 2nd Texture Mapping Unit was disabled for "memory issues". It was quickly discovered that by applying a registry fix the 2nd TMU could be activated with no ill effect and a nice performance increase. With the 2nd TPU the Velocity 100 performed almost identical to the more expensive Voodoo3 2000. With some benchmarks the Velocity 100 was even faster due to the use of faster SGRAM memory compared to the Voodoo3's slower SDRAM memory.
For this benchmark we are comparing the Velocity to the new Kyro 2 video card. I fully expect the Kyro to win hands down, I picked the Videologic VividXS Kyro 2 because like the Velocity it has no hardware transform and lighting which would give any video card which uses it an unfair advantage.
