The installation of the Elsa X² Erazor was a painless procedure, and as previously mentioned we used the 3.68 NVIDIA reference drivers. We then threw the Erazor into 3Dmark2000's meatgrinder, and compared the results to the TNT2 and SDR GeForce boards. We tested all the cards with Hardware T&L disabled, since no simulation currently takes advantage of this technology.

Notice that the Elsa only leapt forward of the other two cards in the single texturing fill rate and the 8 meg texture rendering speed. Now take a look at how this information relates to game performance. Next are the tables containing the performance data from each of the simulations tested
