Test Platforms
We let a FireGL2 and a Quadro2 Pro reference card (identical to Elsa Gloria III) compete against each other. Additionally, we show test results for a mainstream GeForce2 GTS chip for better assessment of both products. We used three different platforms for each card: one with AMD Athlon 1.2 GHz, Intel Pentium III 1.0 GHz and Pentium 4 1.5 GHz. In our benchmark charts you'll also see how a Pentium 4 would work if it ran at 1.2 GHz (same clock as AMD Athlon 1.2 GHz).
