I put a Radeon 7000 in my 8600/300. OS 9.1, OpenGL 1.2.2 and the latest ATI retail drivers. The monitor is an Apple 17" multiscan.
I have been running the Norton Benchmark tests on this card and the performance has been dreadful. The overall scores range from 61-85 (the reference system is a 6100/60 which scores a 100). The built-in video (connected to a TV) scores 151. That's about what I would expect. The problem with the Radeon is mostly with the "Cbit" tests. Some of those scores are often in the .14-.25 range. (Yes, that's point 14, the reference system gets a 1.0). That really drops the overall score. Other times the Cbit scores look better and something else like scrolling will drop. I've seen it range from .24-41 (that's a range of 1/4 to 41 times the performance of the reference system.) I've tried different resolutions and color depths. Any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks, jim -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
