Descent 3 DirectX Results
You'll note the slower clocked WinFast board edges ahead of the Annihilator but it's most likely noise in our testing. An error or 1-2% is not an uncommon thing. The driver maturity of the TNT2 Ultra shows as it manages to pass it's younger more powerful sibling up by a few frames.
The difference between the two cards is minimal even when overclocked. Note the 5 MHz advantage of the Annihilator is only gaining .6 FPS in this particular test. This benchmark is a bit too easy now for these high-end consumer cards. Things should change a bit as we jump into the next higher resolution.
At this resolution we should see the biggest differences but due to the fact that the hardware and software are so similar, we really don't see one much faster than the other. The VD3 card failed to run the test by crashing into a blank screen.
