Voodoo² Accelerator Review September 1998
Quake II Benchmarks
Quake II seems to benefit some more from overclocking the 3D chips. With the Glide drivers the Quantum 3D cards are as great as the others, the AGP version is even a bit faster than the rest.
Differences only between the higher and the slower clocked cards.
Here the 12 MB cards are slightly faster, but as before, values about 1% are hardly worth mentioning.
No practical differences at 800x600. Maybe we could see more different results on a Pentium II 500...
The Quantum 3D Obsidian 2 X-24 is clocked at 95 MHz and has the maximum possible memory. Nevertheless the 8 MB Diamond cards at only 92 MHz chip clock achieve the same performance.
