The Benchmark Results

As good 'old' habit I ran all the cards in my reference Slot One AGP board MSI MS-6111 with a Pentium II 300 CPU and also in my new reference Socket 7 AGP board FIC PA-2012 with a K6 233. The two 3Dfx Voodoo cards were both clocked to 60 MHz, which is just fine in case of the Canopus Pure3D with its 35 ns EDO RAM but beyond good or bad for the Diamond Monster 3D unless you cool it. I did this only for comparing the drivers of these two cards to each other, the Monster shouldn't run higher than 57 MHz and hence in real world it's slower than shown here.

Wow. I own every single card in this review (holding my Matrox M3D as I write this).
