It was very interesting to see this board score competitive marks to GeForce2 GTS in 32bit mode, especially at the higher resolutions where MX choked. ATi is slower in 16bit, but will overtake nVidia in 32bit.
Lets look at the results.
Quake III Arena score is a very accurate representation of a card's OpenGL capabilities as it's OpenGL uses are even mentioned in OpenGL Guide Book. Once again, Radeon SDR falls behind GeForce2 MX in 16bit but comes out on top in 32bit. Granted, this may have been CPU dependent but compared to GeForce2 MX it is a valid score. Compared to GeForce2 MX, Radeon SDR is a more efficient solution, but considering the fact that it is using the same GPU as the DDR version I must say that ATi has created this card only to meet the price requirement. MB DDR and GeForce2 GTS 64MB but at a lower scale.
