This is the highest 3D Mark 2000
score I've gotten yet. Memory performance was the biggest handicap for the
Leadtek card. With similar core performance the Leadtek GTS card is being
dragged down only due to its memory limitations. Both cards overclocked
to similar core speeds so the memory becomes the sticking point. You can
download 3D Mark 2000 here.

3D Mark
2001 enters our benchmark suite. What is immediately apparent to anyone
who has run this benchmark is that it is far more intensive than 3D Mark
2000 was. This doesn't invalidate results with 3D Mark 2000 but now we have
another tool to evaluate the performace of a video card.

Here the resolutions are all separated.
You can figure out where your gaming preferences fall. I usually play with
a resolution of 1024x768 - but 1280x1024 strains a setup much more and really
brings it to its knees. Anyone remember the days when we struggled to get
100 FPS at 640x480? The good 'ol days. We are rapidly approaching 200 FPS
in Quake III in the lower resolutions. This only means that game designers
have a lot more room to work with to give us good gaming experiences without
having to worry about performance issues.
