Gainward CARDEXPERT GeForce3 PowerPack !!! 64MB

Real-World Fillrate - Serious Sam

With the Serious Sam fillrate benchmarks, we are often to see slight differences between cards. This is the case with the CARDEXPERT GeForce3 PowerPack !!! which was able outperform the competing products by a small amount. The CARDEXPERT GeForce3 PowerPack !!! performed about 2% faster than the next fastest card in the single texture fillrate test. This small improvement is most likely a result of some minor BIOS optimizations or design tweaks.

When we switched to the dual texture fillrate benchmark, we found that the cards do not separate themselves as they did in the single texture benchmark. Here the CARDEXPERT GeForce3 PowerPack !!! lies at the bottom of the chart but the difference between cards is extremely small: only about .2%. The differences are not noticeable by any means and can likely be attributed to simple variations between benchmark runs.

So we see that the CARDEXPERT GeForce3 PowerPack !!! performs a slight amount better than other GeForce3 cards when rendering a single texture but the same as other cards in dual textures. Let's see how this effects actual Serious Sam gameplay.
