Stukkie van The Reverend over het verschil tussen de Voodoo5 5500 en de GeForce 2 Ultra in het spel Sacrifice:
"BTW, try as I might but I simply couldn't notice any difference in the game Sacrifice when it came to "the T&L difference™" - I simply could not see any difference when my two machines - Intel/Voodoo5 and AMD/GeForce2 ULTRA - were running the game at the same time... I use one monitor for both machines with a KVM switchbox and when toggling between the two machines with the same exact player-location, I couldn't see any difference. Maybe it has to do with the game's engine where things are scaled according to your desired framerate (there's such a "Desired Framerate" setting) selection but even when set to the lowest 10fps setting on both machines, I couldn't see any difference. And no, don't tell me what to look for because if I have to try as hard as I did in trying to see a difference and still couldn't notice any, then it's simply a non-feature. The game ran at about the same framerate (as far as eyeballing things go) on both machines at 1024x768x32bit with all settings set to similar. Sigh... I love the promise of T&L but why the hell is its "support" so un-noticeable or absolutely minimal in a game like Sacrifice where T&L was hyped quite a bit by its developers? "
Blijkbaar is het verschil toch niet zo groot als de meeste mensen zouden denken. Waarom zou iemand dan zo'n 1500 gulden voor die Ultra uit gaan geven, vraag ik me dan af.
Dat de Voodoo5 langzamer is dan de GF2MX in 3DMark heeft dus blijkbaar niets met real-life performance te maken. Ikzelf heb in tests gezien dat de Voodoo5 op +-3fps verschil net zo snel is als de GF2GTS (+3 zonder quality post filter, -3 met quality postfilter) in Q3A.
Ik snap dan soms niet waar sommige mensen al die wijsheid vandaan hebben die je vaak hoort op messageboards. Ik weet wel dat meer dan de helft ervan nog niet eens beide kaarten in actie heeft gezien - eigenhandig getweaked en intensief getest in meerdere games.
Blah.
