SiN progress report : Comment 3 of 6ANN.lu

I think that a new faster video card with plenty of fill rate( bandwith) with all the OpenGL functions available in hardware( so that they don't have to be emulated) will make the current PPC cards also run much better.
I have seen benchmarks from Quake 2 and Heretic 2 on the internet with a Permedia 2 graphic card and Pentium 2 300 and more processors and they get the same FPS as we do. The Permedia 2 is really the bottleneck here.
If the chip was really good then we would be getting the same frame rate in 800 x 600 as in 320 x 240. As is the case on my PC with VooDoo 2 card. We might even get more FPS because on the PC when using other chips like 3dfx VooDoo, Nvidia TNT, S3 savage the frame rate just jumps up.
