Benchmarks
Continued: 3DMark2001 16-bit
Obviously,
the GeForce2 Ultra is no match for the GF3 because
Game 4 is also included in computing the final
3DMark2001 score. Since the GeForce2 Ultra cannot
run Game 4, it already gets a zero at that benchmark
so it's really impossible for a GeForce2 Ultra
to get near to a score of a GeForce3. For that
reason, let's take a look at the individual results
of the benchmarks.

The
difference between the GeForce2 Ultra and GeForce3
is pretty noticeable. This benchmark is already
at 1024X768X16 so we can expect the results to
be more video card limited rather than CPU limited.
So by looking at the scores alone, the GeForce3
is faster than the GeForce2 Ultra by a pretty
good margin. I guess we now have an idea of how
the cards will fare in the newer games.
While
the GeForce3 is faster in the first few game benchmarks,
it turns out to be slower than the Software T&L
Assisted GeForce3 in Game 4. Why? I don't really
know but these are the results. Of course, the
GeForce2 Ultra lacks the necessary features to
run Game 4.
