| If
you are use to seeing high marks with GeForce DDR
cards, this is going to be more of the same for
you. As a matter of fact, we flashed the
BIOS on this card with a new rev. of the firmware
that Elsa has up
on their web site. It actually gave us a
few more FPS in some of these tests. This
was a nice perk that we didn't expect. Here
are the goods. |

Once
again, the GeForce DDR set up proves to be the fastest
32 bit Q3 machine in the world, at this
juncture. You've got to love that 1024X768
performance. Once again, these numbers are
slightly ahead of where we have seen other GeForce DDR
cards, clock for clock. There is something
magical in that new
BIOS the Elsa posted on their site!

From a Direct 3D
standpoint, there is nothing better at putting a
card through the wringer like MadOnions 3DMark
2000. Let's see how the Erazor X2 faired.

Here you can see
the benefits of hardware supported T&L with
the default set up that 3D Mark 2000 uses.
Although, as we have seen over at the HOCP,
T&L is still in its infancy so don't expect to
see large gains in real world gaming experiences,
just yet.
Let's show you a
few more scores and then wrap this thing up!
