[Review] INNO 3D, Tornado MX400-Performance

Test

The object for Tornado MX400 is shell micro's Infinity GeForce2 MX. i will show result compared each 32bit and 16bitTest PC

Lately, 3D Mark 2001 is announced but it optimized only for GeForce3. so i tested with 3D Mark 2000. tornado MX400 is 10% faster than infinity MX. this result told me MX400 doesnt lure me with performance although memory and core clock is improved at the same time.

The result from 3D Mark 2000 at 32bit are same to 3D Mark 2000 at 16bit. The difference of performance are getting closer in high resolution. i think there are some memory bandwidth problem especially in high resolution. do you remember that performance of MX graphic card adapted 200MHz RAM is greater than normal MX? it means.....

Quake3 Arena 16BIT

This part make me to disapoint. MX400's performance is stupid!.

Quake3 Arena 32BIT

i can feel some difference of performance in this test. you know. you should set resolution 800 X 600 to play quake 3 cheerfully. system can't maintain average high frame. sometime FPS are 30 even if timedemo result is 95.2. i think FPS in timedemo shoud be 100 at least.

3D WinBench 2000 16BIT

3D WinBench 2000 that let me know 3D environment. it show me 10% performance difference. that's all

3D WinBench 2000 32BIT

i can confirm 10% improving overally. that's why 200MHz from 175MHz and 183MHz from 166. but i can't understand why only 10% improved although core and memory clock has more each 10%. summarize all result. MX400 is overclocked MX.
