Here's how thi came about- I have 2 machine, onewith a 32MB TNT2, and the other with an older 16MB PCI TNT.I use the older machine for OPS cuz OPS crashes on a machine using DX7 or later and detonator drivers. Even then, it acts funky with older drivers & DX.
I saw a Number 9 16MB Savage4 for $18 and figured- why not? (for the older machine)
Installed DX8, and the board with the latest reference drivers. The framerates are 2.5 times higher than the TNT. It gets 23-30fps in the new P-51D flying about 150 ft above the deck (800x600). This is on a machine with 64MB of ram and a 333 Celeron. THe picture is much nicer than my TNT2 on the other machine and transparent parts look better.
OPS works better too.
I thought this chipset was supposed to suck?
Not a bad performance increase for the price, and it has hardware DVD decoding.
