Viper V770 Ultra Celeron Benchmarks
The Viper V770 Ultra was tested on a Celeron
466 running at 525Mhz. Most readers will remember this computer from the
Celeron 466 test. Our
Celeron machine came with:
We used Quake 2 and 3D Mark 99 as our
benchmarks. All tests were ran 3 times and the average score is shown. All
drivers were the latest ones from the manufacturers. The V770 Ultra was tested
at it's rated speed of 150/183. We also included benchmarks from the card
running at a much higher 175/200. Then we took out our copy of
TNTCLK and
cracked it up to 185/220. Just for comparison, we tossed in the scores from the
C525's SLI Voodoo 2s which runs at 100Mhz. 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.

The Viper 770 Ultra does very well against the SLI V2s,
which running at 100Mhz is about the same as a Voodoo 3 running at 175Mhz. The
score are very even, with no clear knock outs.
The Viper 770 Ultra does knock out the Voodoo 2 in visual
quality. There's really no competition here. The Viper is just plain better
looking. Running Quake 3, it's a night and day difference.
How About 32 Bit?
3dfx omitted 32 bit support when it
release the Voodoo 3, citing too great a lost in performance for the gains in
visual quality. While the frame rates does drop when running the V770 Ultra at
32 bit, the speed is still more than fast enough to play at all but the highest
resolutions.

The Viper V770 Ultra is very overclockable.
It runs at 185/220 with just the stock heatsink fan. We're sure we can get the
core speed to 190+Mhz with the Global Win heatsink fan that was used in the V770
test.
