Canopus Pure3D II Voodoo2

by Anand Lal Shimpi on August 2, 1998 9:16 PM EST

The performance of the Pure3D II, as with all Voodoo2 cards out today, falls within a few percent of the competition, eliminating the need to re-run an entire suite of benchmarks spreading across multiple processor platforms. 

How I Tested
  • Wait for VSYNC was disabled during the tests

  • Canopus' Supplied Pure3D II Drivers were used in conjunction with the Millennium II AGP Drivers

  • The Memory Clock was set at 100MHz

  • Quake 2 v3.14 was used; The full version of Turok was used, not the downloadable demo.
