We ran
a suite of benchmarks on the DH Pro at both it's
default and over-clocked speeds. Our tests
included MadOnion's
3D Mark 2000 v1.1 to test Direct 3D performance, MadOnion's
Video 2000 to test video quality and playback, and
MDK 2 and Quake 3 to test OpenGL performance. First
up is 3D Mark 2000... 3D
MARK 2000 v1.1
 We
had good luck overclocking this card, let's see
what kind of effect it had on it's Direct 3D
performance.
Some
nice increases...especially at the higher
resolutions. Time for Video 2000... VIDEO
2000
Again
some decent numbers. Video and DVD playback is not
a week point for the DH Pro. I'm
sure all of you are interested in some
"in-game" numbers, so to test the DH
Pro's OpenGL prowess we ran MDK2's built-in
timedemo at 16 and 32-Bit color depths, at both
it's default and over-clocked speeds. MDK
2
I'd
bet that while over-clocked we see nice
performance increases at higher-resolutions...
Ah
Ha! Told ya! I'd almost say that at
1280x1024x32 MDK2 was perfectly playable, but I'm
a 60FPS+ kind of guy. Your opinion may differ
on this but either way these are decent frame
rates. Let's see what kind of numbers we
see with Quake 3 Arena.
