I tested the Asus V6600 on a Pentium 3 running at 620Mhz. It had the following equipment:

• Intel Pentium 3 @ 620Mhz

• Abit BE6-II Motherboard

• In Win 24" ATX Case With 250 Watts PS

• 128 Megs Corsair PC-133 SDRAM

• Acer 50X CD ROM

• Quantum KA 17 Gig 7200RPM ATA/66 Hard Drive

• Diamond Monster Sound MX300

• Smartfast PCI NIC

• Windows 98 SE

I used Quake 2, Quake 3 and 3D Mark2000 as the benchmarks. All tests were ran 3 times and the average score is shown. The drivers used were Asus 3.62 beta 2 drivers. Vsync was turned off. No tweaks or special cfg files were used. 3D Mark 2000 was ran at its factory default settings.

The Quake 3 timedemo was ran on the default "high quality" setting found in the graphic options, which are:

Resolution: 800x600
Graphic mode: HIGH QUALITY
GL Driver: DEFAULT
GL extensions: ON
Color : 32 BIT
Full screen: ON
Lighting: LIGHTMAP
Geometric detail: MEDIUM
Texture detail: 3
Texture quality: 32 BIT
Texture Filter: TRILINEAR

The game options are:

Marks on walls: YES
Ejecting brass:  YES
Dynamic lighting: YES
Identify target: YES
High quality sky: YES

Benchmark Scores

There's no doubt the V6600 is one fast video card. The Quake 2 scores crushed all previous records. This is the fastest video card The Tech Zone has ever tested. The scary thing is there is still more power left untapped in the V6600. The SGRAM is really running under clocked and the GeForce 256 chip can run quite a bit faster than 120Mhz. Just how fast? You'll find out in the next page.
