Dynamic Duo!

| Well,
needless to say, we did put the Erazor III through its paces.
Overall we expected
to see a bit of a hit in various framerates due to the Erazor III's
lower clock frequencies. What we discovered was a little surprising.
Check it out.... |

| Ah,
what a difference a driver revision makes! The Erazor III actually
scores higher in the lower resolutions than the Leadtek Winfast
S320II we tested over a month ago. Again, the drivers we used for
this test are straight off the Elsa Web Site. We felt it was only
fair to test the card with these drivers since they are the only
ones that will let you run the Revelator Glasses. Perhaps reference
drivers from Nvidia may yield even better performance. |

The
3DMark 99 Max scores show the limitations of the lower core and
memory clock speeds. Still, this is a very good showing for the Elsa
board.

| As
usual the TNT2 chipset of the Erazor III shows what an excellent
Windows performer it is. Again, Desktop Image Quality, is a strong
suite for this board as well. |
