3DMark2001SE and 4 x Antialiasing
To make things a bit more videocard-centric, we repeated the 3DMark2001SE runs at the 4 x Antialiasing setting specified in the 3DMark configuration GUI. This stresses the GPU and local frame buffer way beyond a non-antialiased run and, therefore, we expected some greater gains from the modified card. Again, we have done the copy and paste of all details to provide a comprehensive side by side view.
1024 x 768 x 32 bpp
1280 x 1024 x 32 bpp
1600 x 1200 x 32 bpp
All of a sudden, the tables have turned rather dramatically towards showing a huge performance increase. Once again, the overall composite score is not that much affected, however, the individual results speak for themselves and leave hardly any doubt that some fundamental changes have occurred within the graphics adapter that go way beyond a simple increase in core speed from 472 to 520 MHz.
