Now that eCS 2.0 is out, there are better reasons for running the Panorama video driver. The SNAP graphics video driver is no longer being developed, so any future for eCS video drivers is really in Panorama.
This page presents a table of benchmark results for the nubopeep desktop computer. This computer comes with a GeForce 6600 graphics card which has SNAP accellerated graphics support. A comparison to the Intel G41 graphics built in to the motherboard is presented.
| Category | SNAP/GeForce | Panorama/GeForce | SNAP/G41 | Panorama/G41 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PM-Graphics-marks | 476 | 33 | n/a | 25 |
| CPU integer-marks | 4670 | 2367 | 4712 | 2350 |
| CPU floating point-marks | 468 | 273 | 464 | 273 |
| DIVE-marks | 161 | 161 | 162 | 161 |
| File I/O-marks | 45266 | 46250 | 49214 | 45727 |
| Memory-marks | 10947 | 10884 | 10950 | 10902 |
| Simultaneous I/O-marks | 23 | 24 | 24 | 24 |
| Disk I/O-marks | 437 | 417 | 437 | 417 |
Note that the PM-Graphics-marks benchmark did not complete for the SNAP graphics on the G41. This would be SNAP graphics running in VESA mode. The text render benchmark did not run. Most PM graphics tests gave similar results between SNAP and Panorama for the G41 adapter.
