Quake 3 Arena - High Quality 640x480x32
The added memory speed of the overclocked Annihilator seems to have gained it a little over a frame of the slightly slower WinFast board in this test. This may not seem like much but with the CPU being the bottleneck, it did come a surprise to me to see any leads at all. The faster video memory is benefiting the high quality setting more than the normal setting. Note that the VD3 does not work in 32 bit mode.
Although less noticeable here, a similar scene as in DEMO001 occurs. The faster memory speed achieved in the Annihilator scores the Creative board an advantage where normally it didn't. Things might become a bit clearer as we raise the resolution.
