I'm selling eCS-preloaded computers on my website, and I want to make sure that people get a good value for their money. Part of that is graphics performance. I can see a few posts of people who rely on Windows benchmarks, and I know those are pretty far removed from reality for eCS users.
I use Sysbench 0.95 to benchmark the graphics cards.
Card | PM-Marks | Dive-Marks |
NVidia GeForce 6600 | 511 | 2315 |
Intel 945G | 396 | 2870 |
All measurements were at 1440 x 900, but changing the resolution didn't make a lot of difference. The Intel 945G was an on the motherboard adapter with shared memory. The NVidia PCI-Express was a beast with a heat sink that took up two slots in the computer.
Both graphics adapters were using SNAP graphics as the driver.
