Same old bullshit.k6-2 Super7 and TNT runs fantastic. At 1024x768 , demo1 I
get 41 fps with tnt. Voodoo2 with same settings yields 45 fps at 800x600.
granted, over 60 fps can be had by disabling features such as the wepaon and
the lighting effects, but whats the point? 41fps at 1024 looks awesome.
Besides Is anyone playing at 320x200 to get 200fps???
 BTW, Quake2 is still the only game in which I have seen a significant speed
improvement from 3dnow, and even then only with the Voodoo2 . Most BabyAT
Super7 users cannot fit 2 voodoo2's due to slot limitations so SLI is
irrelevant.
K6-2 300 @ 350 , Viper550 AGp , 128mb PC100, FIC 503+ mobo

And to answer the original poster, If you have a TX based mobo I assume that
means you are running at a 66mhz bus? In this case you should not expect
performance like above with either card.
