Overall I knew what was going to happen. I'm not sure if it is just that my
Radeon sucks, or just that it sucks under Windows 2000. Here are the specs that
I tested...
<p>Duron 800<br>
KK266<br>128MB PC133 Micron SDram<br>Geforce 2 GTS(12.41) or Radeon 64Vivo(3102)<br>All options on the tests were the same for both Video cards<br>
Windows 2000 SP2

<p>Really, what is there to say? I know the radeon Scales well on High Res things, but for 3D Gaming, give me a Geforce 2. Ohh
and even on my better system, the Geforce 2 on the slower system is faster with FPS on Tribes 2. I really would love to test the Radeon 8500 vs a Geforce 3.
hopefully ATI got their drivers in line with this card.</p>
