Notes

We decided to throw the 3D Prophet up against our NVIDIA reference GeForce SDR and DDR boards. The TNT2 Ultra makes an appearance to represent for the current generation video cards. In our Quake 3 benchmarks, we upped the resolution tests up to 1600x1200. Previously, our benchmarks only went up to 1024x768, but that resolution wasn't high enough to show the true performance of the GeForce.
