In recent
years, Olaf Corton has expanded his OCUS bench to include
more features and assembly operations. As the speed of
CPUs have risen, so too has the need for more
comprehensive testing applications. Previous versions of
the OCUS bench were allowing the computers being tested to
obtain results close to or under 60 seconds. The new test
can not be compared to the older version, due to the more
complex nature of the test.

Lower Scores Are
Better
You can see in the
OCUS test, that the 900 XGL outperforms the pack handily but for
the price point you might think it would dominate with a
little more muscle. The card was just marginally faster,
2% to be exact, than the Elsa Gloria II Quadro or the
Geforce 2. It was actually ever so slightly slower
in the graphics benchmark. Not a very
impressive start for such a pricey entry. We ran the test a few times with the
same conclusive results. It looks like
digging around on Ebay might produce some better values,
at least in this application. For those of you on a budget plan you can't
beat the performance of the Geforce 2 Ultra.
Regardless, if you are concerned about certifications,
warranty and support (who isn't?), you still have a serious performer with the Quadro4
900XGL.
