Benchmarks

SYSmark 2000

I gave up benchmarking with BAPCo's SYSmark quite early, as there is hardly any difference among the tested cards. All four cards score excellent 200 SYSmark points, mainly thanks to the GHz processor.

At 16 Bits, the Millennium G450 is clearly slower than the cards from nVIDIA and ATI. A Radeon or GeForce 2 MX will give you approximately double the frame rates of the G450.

A similar result at 32 Bit color depth. Due to the limited memory bandwidth of the G450 chip, the results are only average. Even the lowest resolution we tested (1024x768) is hardly playable.
