No surprise here, the GeForce 2 Pro is our leader followed by the overclocked Radeon, stock Radeon and with the GeForce DDR coming in last. In the nv15demo, things are closer, with the GeForce DDR beating the Radeon, not that you would notice it though.

As we crank up the resolution and options, we can easily see that the GeForce DDR has reached its limit. The Radeon seems to be slowing down too, while the GeForce 2 Pro still has lots of power.

To be honest, a hardcore Quaker probably wouldn't to play with these frame rates; they're just too slow. Well I guess you can call the GeForce 2's performance acceptable. Another interesting thing, the Radeon wouldn't complete the nv15demo. It would always hang in the middle. At first, I thought maybe the Radeon didn't like the 75 MHz AGP (150/2) but even setting my bus speed back down to 133 MHz didn't help! Hehe… Maybe the nv15demo knew it wasn't running on an nVidia based card and decided to choke… Go figure.
Let's see how MDK2 thinks of the Radeon…
