Diamond multimedia viper v550 bios update

38.5 27.0 Diamond Viper V550 (TNT) - 32bpp Color 31.2 20.9 The difference in performance doesn't justify the difference in image quality between 16bpp and 32bpp color modes with the TNT and current games, as can be seen from the Unreal screen shots below. Keep in mind that some quality was lost due to the JPEG compression.

Home> GPUs by Anand Lal Shimpi on September 22, 1998 7:57 PM EST Posted in GPUs The Slot-1 Pentium II Test System AnandTech used was configured as follows: An Intel Celeron 300A, an Intel Pentium II 400, & an Intel Pentium II 450 on an ABIT BX6 Motherboard 64MB Mushkin SEC PC100 SDRAM Western Digital 5.1GB Ultra ATA Hard Drive AOpen 32X IDE CD-ROM Drive Windows 98 with all of the latest patches/drivers installed The benchmark suite consisted of the following full version game titles Forsaken - Running the Nuke Demo Quake 2 v3.17 using Demo1.dm2 and Brett "3 Fingers" Jacobs Crusher.dm2 demo Ziff Davis' Winbench 98 was used to test 2D performance at 1024 x 768 x 16-bit color. VSYNC was disabled during AnandTech's tests (VSYNC is the synchronization of all buffer swaps to the refresh rate of your monitor, theoretically limiting the attainable frame rate by the refresh rate your monitor is set at. Disabling it will improve performance but may degrade visual quality by introducing "tearing") For the in-depth gaming performance tests Brett "3 Fingers" Jacobs Crusher.dm2 demo was used to simulate the worst case scenario in terms of Quake 2 performance, the point at which your frame rate will rarely drop any further. In contrast, the demo1.dm2 demo was used to simulate the ideal situation in terms of Quake 2 performance, the average high point for your frame rate in normal play. The range covered by the two benchmarks can be interpreted as the range in which you can expect average frame rates during gameplay. Note: Performance between two TNT based cards is virtually identical, to see a more complete comparison of how your system will perform using a TNT based video card, visit the AnandTech Canopus Spectra 2500 Review.

Mangshan Pit Viper (Protobothrops mangshanensis). This newly-described large pit viper is found in the mountains of Hunan, China at high elevations. It is one of the few viper species that lays eggs. Photo by Julie Larsen Maher.Puff Adder (Bitis arietans). This notorious African viper is often found in close proximity to humans. This leads to this snake having the dubious distinction of inflicting the most venomous snake bites of any species in South Africa. Photo by Julie Larsen Maher.When many people think of snakes, they conjure up a vision of venomous serpents with huge fangs, large diamond-shaped heads, and cat-like eyes. The vision actually comes from the true-to-life physical appearance of vipers. This group of more than 300 species of snakes possess large heads that are distinct from the neck (diamond-shaped), the largest fangs of any of the venomous snakes, and elliptical pupils (cat-like). These characteristics may seem to play into an ophidiophobia nightmare, but in reality, they are important adaptations for this group of snakes’ place in their ecosystem. The shape of their head accommodates large venom glands used to incapacitate their prey. Their fangs are so large that they fold against the roof of their
