Have been using the video card for over a year now...and with the performance I'm getting from HL2 and the likes of NFSU-2...I dont really need one (for a couple of months anyway)
This is pretty sweet for my Dell Dimension 8100. Of course I did something silly and put an ATi Radeon X800XT 256 GDDR3 RAM in it. lol.
The setup is...
1.5GHz Pentium 4
i850 Chipset Motherboard
512MB of RDRAM
80GB HDD 7200RPM
ATi Radeon X800XT 256 GDDR3 RAM
The score is... 15215. If you don't believe it. See attachment for proof.
P.S. It gets in the 18000 range if I run it at 640x480 in 32-bit color.
I forgot to mention that. It's 330 Watt.
I used http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/ to calculate and I only needed 302 Watts.
No bottlenecks. It's been running fine for 3 weeks and just today I decided to download and install that 3dmark2001.
