The good news is: The DirectX 9 game Halo actually runs with the older i865G. The bad news: There is nothing here that we could call image quality. So we did not include its results in our charts. The image quality of the 915G made a good impression, but further detail tests are needed in order for us to reach a final conclusion.
Missing textures... missing everything. 865G looks like an old b/w. We did not modify the shot!
We tested both, PS1.1 as well as PS2.0 with the standard benchmark mode of Halo.
