X2: The Treat



Everything I have just said about Il2 is also true for the X2: The Threat space simulator. Although S3 DeltaChrome S8 Nitro is faster than the regular DeltaChrome S8, both these graphics solutions are pretty slow. DeltaChrome is not suitable for playing this game at all.

The results here are not so tragic, as in Il-2 Sturmovik, though it is still impossible to play at such a low fps rate.
F1 Challenge 99-2002



The situation in F1 Challenge looks somewhat different. S3 DeltaChrome S8 Nitro runs quite acceptably although it fails to catch up with GeForce FX. However, as the resolution grows, the newcomer slows down yielding to the rivals because of its not very efficient memory subsystem.

The gaming performance is below the acceptable level: no comments are necessary.
