Thought I’d add the Parhelia to the benchmarks I had run (as the card will run in a standard PCI slot in the Shuttle just fine, if sacrificing some throughput). Quake III Arena looked promising, slightly above the Kyro II, but below the Geforce 2 Ti at 1280x1024x32, however the card must be bandwidth starved as reducing the resolution only gives a minor FPS bump, and reducing from 32-bit to 16-bit colour gives next to no difference at all!
Quake II though... well that just runs like crud. The explosions and particles are all HUGE, like massive 1-inch circles where on other cards they’re a few pixels wide at most. This makes the card crawl during explosions or fire, you can see it running quickly in between explosions! No idea what that is all about, the drivers must be doing something odd!
Just running a 3DMark2001SE benchmark now and we’ll see if that works properly!
Edit: 3DMark was competitive, scores higher than the Geforce 2 Ti in almost every test (and higher overall due to being able to run “Nature”).
Unreal Tournament was similar to Quake 2, massively underwhelming performance compared to Quake 3 and 3DMark, struggling to make 30fps at 1280x1024 and 60fps at 640x480.
