Part Six: VulpineGL

To completely stress the Radeon8500 in OpenGL mode, I am using VulpineGL. This stresses the card by showing drooling graphics, which includes single blades of grass being rendered in real time! All these settings below are with Best Performance and 32-bit to see how it copes under the pressure:

640x480

800x600

1024x768

Quite a bit of difference to what Q3 gave us! Although this program has been specifically designed to put graphics cards through its paces! With all the details that the benchmark throws at the card, the Radeon 8500 has done surprisingly well! The FPS total is above 70FPS in all the tests, but drops to the lowest of 36FPS. This is still smooth, fluent graphics which is nothing to turn your nose up at!
