Creative 3D Blaster GF4Ti4200 Review (4)
TimB 9 Dec 2002

Benchmarking

We conducted a number of tests on the setup with the following configuration :

Test System:

AMD Athlon TBird 1.333Ghz
ECS K7S5A DDR266 Async mode CAS 2, 2-2-6
Corsair 256MB XMS3200 DDR400 module
Kingston 256MB PC2100 DDR266 module
Creative 3D Blaster GF4 Ti4200 64MB with Detonator 40.72 WHQL
Western Digital 40GB Caviar ATA100 7200RPM
Philips 32x4x4x CDRW
VIP 550W PSU.

Quake 3 Arena Demo001

This benchmark was run using the demo at all the maximum settings. Again as in a similar manner to the Comanche 4 benchmark, the overclocking of the card yields only a small increase in performance. The extra cpu speed and memory bandwidth at the increased FSB clearly indicates that the card has more to offer.

A 1.4% increase is noted using 133(266DDR)FSB over the default clocks. This increases to 11.1% at 147(294DDR)FSB. Further increase in CPU speed would enhance the score.
