I used Quake 2, Quake 3 Test and 3D Mark 99
Max as the benchmarks. All tests were ran 3 times and the average score is
shown. All drivers were the latest ones from the manufacturers.
The 2 Viper V770s were running at their stock
125/150 speed using 2.08 NVIDIA reference drivers. Vsync was turned off. No
tweaks or special cfg files were used. 3D Mark 99 Max was ran at 800x600, 16 bit
color, 16 bit Z-Buffer, Triple Frame Buffer.
