WinBench 99 is a
subsystem-level benchmark that measures the performance of a PC's graphics,
disk, and video subsystems in a Windows environment. WinBench 99's tests can run
on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows Me
systems.

Both the
Pine 6326 and the Xpert 98 lag behind by quite a bit in both benchmarks since
they are quiet a bit older in terms of technology. It surprising that the GeForce2 MX400 has such
a large lead.
SPECviewperf is a portable OpenGL performance
benchmark program written in C. It was developed by IBM. Later updates and
significant contributions were made by SGI, Digital and other SPECopcSM project group members. SPECviewperf
provides a vast amount of flexibility in benchmarking OpenGL performance.
Currently, the program runs on most implementations of UNIX, Windows NT, Windows
95/98 and Linux.Higher numbers equate to better performance.
I chose
to omit the other tests in SPECviewperf even though were again huge performance
differences, because they're better CPU testers then anything else. It's not
surprising that the GeForce2 MX400 is doing the best here since the structure of
the core is almost exactly the same as nVidia's Quadro2 MXR line of cards.
Something to note is that even though both Kyro cards passed the tests,
there were serious problems with the rendered images. Often times whole sections were
lost or the image was not rendered at all!
Video2000 is designed for evaluating the video
quality, performance and features available in modern graphics adapters. For the
first time in benchmarking, comprehensive quality tests allow for the accurate
measurement of image quality, while the Performance and Feature Tests indicate
how well your system will perform in a real-world environment.
Video2000 is an unsupported
benchmark from MadOnion, however it's still pretty good in determining video
performance. It's no surprise that the nVidia based cards are doing very well,
however we would have expected the Xpert 2000 Pro to fair a little better.
