Mainstream Runners: 5 Allround Graphic Cards with nVIDIA's GeForce2 MX
Benchmarks: BAPCo SYSmark 2000
As you can see the Matrox G450 is a better performer in 2D applications than the GeForce2 MX. Of course the difference is far too little to have any impact on everyday work. There are only few score variations among the GeForce2 MX cards.
Benchmarks: Mercedes Benz Truck Racing
Mercedes Benz Truck Racing runs pretty fast at 640x480. As we ran this benchmark at maximum quality settings, the frame rate drops pretty fast. Even 800x600 is not playable any more. Of course you can try using less graphic details to increase the frame rate to approximately 40 fps at 800x600. Please note that MBTR is one of the most demanding games right now.
Matrox' Millennium G450 is all but a 3D runner - 18 fps at 640x480 is simply too slow for gaming today.
