Sam's fill rate test. Conducted in both 16-bit and 32-bit colour.

GeForce 3
Obviously the
GeForce 3 is king, followed by the GeForce DDR with the Radeon 64MB Retail right
on it's heals. The MX is still respectable though. Let's take switch to 32bit
colour and see how the cards do.

Very interesting
that all the fill rate scores increased. For the nVidia based cards, it can
probably be attributed to the new DetonatorXP drivers. They really increase
performance. Still, the MX400 is last.
