GL Excess is one of those benchmarks you quickly come to
rely on. It turns is consistent results and has bags of eye
candy to keep you amused while it runs. I'd like to run the
Radeons through these tests again on this platform as so far,
particularly in this test, the Ti500 is stomping all over
the Radeon scores in all but the VRam test. As I mentioned
earlier, the Radeon tests were run on a 98SE/Athlon 1.4 platform,
but just for the record, here's how they scored in this benchmark

Quake3 Arena TimeDemo 001:
One thing is rapidly becoming clear, this card kicks multiple
amounts of ass when it comes to OpenGL gaming. Again the comparison
may be an unfair one, but based on these results the Ti scores
higher in 1024x768 max quality than the 8500 managed at 800x600
in normal quality by some 21fps. If ever there was a reason
to to whack on the FSAA and get some high quality fragging
done, this is it!
