    Elsa Gladiac GeForce 2 GTS Review
    June 2000
    Benchmarks

    Right before we ran our benchmarks, Nvidia released their Detonator 2 drivers that have all of the features of the previously unsupported 5.xx drivers. Since we figured that everyone would upgrade their drivers to Detonator 2's, we thought it necessary for us to test with these new drivers. Like our other reviews, we will run these tests on our 733MHz testbed with the standard Quake III/ 3D Mark 2000 suites.



    System Settings
    Processor Intel Pentium III 733

    Motherboards Tyan Trinity 400 Rev C. (VIA Apollo Pro 133A)
    RAM 128MB PC133 SDRAM
    (Provided by Memman)
    Video Card Elsa Gladiac Geforce2 GTS
    3dfx Voodoo5 5500 AGP
    Sound Card Aureal SQ2500
    Hard Drive(s) Maxtor 13.6GB 7200RPM ATA/66
    CD-ROM Sony 5X DVD-ROM
    Generic 36X CD-ROM
    Operating System Windows 98 With DX 7.1a
    Drivers NVIDIA Detonator 2 v5.22

    As you can see in fastest mode, the Gladiac is a winner in all of the resolutions. The Voodoo5 5500 AGP has a lower cap than the Gladiac and X2, which seems to be equal in the lower resolutions. The Voodoo5 surpasses the X2 but doesn't quite catch up to the Gladiac.

    Again we see that all of the cards are CPU limited at the lowest resolutions. The Voodoo5 5500 again overtakes the DDR but still doesn't catch up to the Gladiac.
