- Here are the very sad results using the same scene,antialiasing etc.
-
- DX2/66 8Mb RAM , cheap video accel etc.................28 mins 1 sec.
-
-
- My A4000/040/40Mhz 28Mb on Warp 4Mb on mboard all 60nS....52 mins 1 sec.
-
- That's a very big difference considering the DX2/66's clock speed is
- considerably slower than the Warp Engine. ie 66Mhz compared to 80 Mhz.
-
- You must remember that Motorola considers the processor speed to be the bus
- speed. The 040 actually runs at twice the bus speed.
