Once again, the drivers are the death of the Savage 2000 in the 640 x 480 tests. The performance isn't even worth analyzing.
The 32-bit performance is getting more competitive here, but still not a "next-generation" level of performance from the Savage 2000.
Again, with drivers as less of a limitation, the Savage 2000 pulls ahead of the first half of the competition. The 32-bit performance, this time around, is the fastest out of the bunch, even outpacing that of the G400MAX. It seems like the 32-bit performance of the Savage 2000 could be a definite strength; unfortunately, it is masked by the poor performance of its immature drivers.
