Just
like the Inno3D
GeForce4 MX440-8X Review, an AGP8X motherboard
had to be used to make full use of the capabilities
of the Xabre400.

Sam 2 Test Notes

The
basic video settings of the GeForce4 MX cards
and the Xabre cards remain the same here but...
Setting
on the GeForce4 MX cards |
Setting
on the Xabre400 |
As
seen, the Xabre400 only supports 16-bit textures
despite running at 32-bit color mode. This should
probably explain the visual quality difference
noticed in the cards. Either way, a comparison
with the exact same settings would be impossible
due to the limitation of the Xabre400.
