I went on and put it to work in my DA. According to Xbench, frames/sec is worse for the 9800 (58 for the Geforce, 42 for the 9800), but overall visual performance seems better ... also lose a point in overall Xbench score.
Maybe attribute that to the 9800 taking care of OS X things better than the Geforce 4MX, things which may not be measured by Xbench. Hardware accelerated for the 9800, Software accelerated for the Geforce ... The Dual 533 is also probably a little bottleneck. Spinning Squares seemed surprisingly sluggish ... i can run multiple apps like Firefox, DVD Player and iTunes with not as much jumpy Dock movement as with the Geforce. A little disappointed with the Xbench results, though. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
