The Ultimate GPU Benchmark (2000 - 2002)

Published: (last update )


No more modern graphic cards, let's ge back a bit to revisit some trully famous pieces of history. In this article, we will get back to year 2000. Starting with Voodoo4 and up to GeForce4 Ti and Radeon 9000 Series.

Bonus Round - Utilization of Theoretical Performance


These charts are calculated as the average performance / theoretical fillrate and memory bandwidth. These numbers are relative and dimensionless, can be compared only within the one chart.

The higher the value is, the more constrained the graphic card is by the specified parameter. Or in another words the more effective in using this resource. Obviously, the final performance is affected by many aspects simultaneously, so pointing just one is not exactly accurate. Take this with grain of salt.


Charts info

You can customize the charts in this article. Feel free to select the products you are interested in. Also it is possible to highlight some of the items. That way it is possible to make the charts more organized for your liking. The choices are persistent across the whole article as long as the same browser tab is used.
