A Video Card Upgrade HOWTO (Linux Journal)A Video Card Upgrade HOWTO (Linux Journal)Posted Aug 18, 2005 18:16 UTC (Thu) by jwb (guest, #15467)In reply to: A Video Card Upgrade HOWTO (Linux Journal) by odie Parent article: A Video Card Upgrade HOWTO (Linux Journal)
I always wondered if this is an illusion. I have one machine with a Millenium II and it absolutely hauls ass. I have never done any x11 benchmarks, but that card just flies. Even painful operations like Mozilla's smooth scrolling are perfectly fast.
How come nobody else can touch this ancient card in 2D performance?

Speculation Posted Aug 18, 2005 20:16 UTC (Thu) by dark (✭ supporter ✭, #8483) [Link] I think the focus has shifted so much to 3D performance that 2D performance has been sacrificed, and these days it's just an emulation layer on top of the 3D logic.
