Test Setup
Chaintech 9EJS1 ZENITH: Pentium 4 2.8GHz, 2 x 256MB Corsair PC3200 TWINX Ram, ATi All-In-Wonder 9700 Pro, 120GB Western Digital SE 8MB Cache, Windows XP SP1, ATi Catalyst 3.2.
The comparison video card will be none other than the Radeon 9700 Pro. If you're looking for Ti4600 numbers for comparison, I suggest you check out this review. We're sticking with the vanilla 9700 Pro for a few reasons, mainly; we don't have anything "faster", and to do an apples to apples comparison, since as we have seen with past All-in-Wonders, the AiW line has always been slower than the desktop model.
The OS setup is a fresh install, followed by the patches and service packs. For the video card drivers, we used the default settings, enabling AA and AF as needed.
3D Mark 2001SE
This marks the last time we'll be using Futuremark's 3D Mark 2001SE. The benchmark has served us well over the past couple years, but it is a couple years old, and todays video cards just aren't stressed hard enough by it. We tested at a variety of resolutions, at default settings.
3D Mark 2001 SE, No AA, No AF
3D Mark 2001 SE, 4xAA, No AF
Given that both cards use the same memory and GPU, it should come as no surprise that the scores are essentially the same. This is a far cry from past All-in-Wonders where the cards would use the same technology as the vanilla desktop ones, but clocked much slower.
Given the scores above, 3D Mark 2001's time in the sun has passed. With 4xAA, the 9700 Pro still stays above the 11 000 mark at 1024.
