Creative Labs 3D Blaster Annihilator Pro GeForce DDR

As can be seen in the above Quake III FPS graphs, at stock speed the Creative Labs 3D Blaster Annihilator Pro performs on par with other DDR GeForce cards. Since many of the DDR cards are using the reference design, the performance difference between the 3D Blaster Annihilator Pro and other DDR cards is expected to be small. It is when the 3D Blaster Annihilator Pro is overclocked that we see a large performance gain. Reaching a maximum speed increase of 19% when in 1024x768x32, the speed of the 160/345 MHz card really pays off.

Also seen in the above graphs is the difference between one of our best performing SDR cards and various DDR cards. At first the difference is small, due to the fact that Quake III Arena can only use so much of the GeForce's potential when at such low resolutions. The difference, however, become larger with higher resolutions and colors. In fact, the stock clocked Creative Labs 3D Blaster Annihilator Pro performs 48% better than the stock clocked SDR card at 1024x768x32. When the 3D Blaster Annihilator Pro is overclocked, this difference jumps to a large 77%.
