Giants v1.4
The DirextX-7 game Giants comes from Planetmoon. Presented as a launch demo for the GeForce2, it is actually rather old, but shows a very appealing look and effects worth seeing. The integrated 'Gamegauge' benchmark was tested in the maximum quality settings.
Giants is a grateful victim for both the high GPU clock rate of 270MHz and the LMA-II of the GeForce4MX. As a T&L benchmark, it requires a high triangular throughput in low resolutions and color depths and a lot of bandwidth in the higher-quality settings. This combination seems to suit the GeForce4MX and so it even pulls the GeForce3 Ti200 away under 16Bit, while in contrast to the GeForce2 Ti it still holds up very well under 32Bit.
