First Look at ATI's Rage 128

3D Performance

How does Rage 128 stick up against TNT now? Well, let's not expect a huge difference between Rage 128 and TNT, the 3D engine specs are too similar.

The test were all done on a PII 400 system, with 128 MB SDRAM, Asus P2B-LS motherboard, IBM DGVS 09U ultra wide SCSI hard drive.

3D Performance - Direct3D Games

Under Direct3D, even when using the 'Game Engine Performance Booster', Rage 128 is slower or just as fast as TNT in Forsaken, Incoming and Expendable, at least as long as you are using the common 16 bit color depth.
