Rendition V1000 VS 3D/Fx Voodoo2
Final Reality Benchmarks

General Overview

The objective of synthetic benchmarking is to perform a series of test on a system and subsequently rate its performance based on the test results. Although these tests cannot be 100% accurate in representing real world performance, more often that not, they are useful as a rough indicator.

Test Bed Disclosure

  • Operating system: Windows 95B Build 4.10.1111 & DirectX 6.0
  • Benchmark programme: VNU Final Reality version 1.01
  • Rendition V1000 driver version: 2.30.02
  • Orchid Righteous 3D II driver version: Latest Driver
  • Advanced Benchmark option used and sound disabled by default
  • For accuracy, all benchmark tests were run 5 times

    • Conclusion

    The Final Reality benchmarks confirm the leadership of the Voodoo2 over the older Rendition V1000 in the 3D arena. However, it is interesting to note that the benchmarks also indicate that the fill rate is not the only factor that governs overall system performance. This can be infered from the small 56% increase in overall performance despite a very large 560% increase in fill rate.
