I ran Macbench's full suite of Quickdraw primitives tests but the graph of those results is very long, but if enough readers request it, I'll post the graph on a separate page. I commented on Radeon QD primitives test results compared to the the Rage128 Pro in my BTO card comparison article. Display was set to 1280x1024, millions colors. All times are in seconds, lower numbers are faster. Display was set to 1152x870, millions colors.
All times are in seconds, lower numbers are faster.
As shown above, in some tests the Radeon's 2D performance is a little disappointing in the 16Bit MacBench score and Word98 scrolling tests. With a faster clock speed than previous ATI cards, I'd have expected the Radeon to perform better.
