Title: What you can do with K6-2 450Mhz + Voodoo Banshee Post by Boiu_Andrei on 20.05.03 at 14:32:06
Well, as i have such a system, I wan't to hear what do you believe I can do with it: programs, games, editing?
I will tell later what I have achieved with it. So, What do you think it can be done mostly in terms of 3d Graphics and games? Andrei. |

Hm, with the Banshee, things like Quake 3 or Unreal Tournament are quite playable (although limited, obviously).
Actually a fairly good match, as the K6-450 isn't the most powerful CPU around. Other Programs (2D) will benefit from it's GUI Accelleration in Hardware. |

Given all the necessary laughing, I ran MaxPayne with the Banshee and it performed quite well, but it did run admirable (4-10fps) even on a low rated S3 Trio 3d/2x 4Mb AGP. Amazingly, beside the speed hit, the game was running. Even more, some effects look good. And this video card is having lots of trouble with textures...
I was able to run GTA3 Vice City on Voodoo Banshee(even with the known lockups) at a quite decent speed (around 12-15fps stable). The big fun was were they were not too many poligons drawn. Then the render would scream to more than 50fps... The processor did more than the job... |
