Radeon 2 (R200) benchmarks

HERE!


Rage Underground has some Radeon 2 benchmarks, these are unconfirmed, and no guarantees of validity but they look relatively realistic to me.

Quake 3 performance seems far below par, I'll assume that's related to driver issues.
3DMark 2000 performance is clearly improved but somewhat less then I was expecting, still it should be close enough to compete against the GF3 even if somewhat behind.
3DMark 2001 results... well, their definitely an immense improvement. I'll wait till' I see further results before making any sort of a preliminary judgement.

As stated earlier, these results are uncomfirmed!
 
Just a note, if you look at the 1280 benchmarks, the R200 (fast one) beats the Ultra. =) Hopefully the drivers won't suck in the beginning like all the other ATI cards.
 
My big question still is when is the damn thing coming out? My hope is the card won't cost more than $250. I remember buying me TNT2 Ultra shortly after it came out for $250, and it was a great card that didn't scar my wallet. Once prices go over that, I don't see it being worth it. If the Radeon 2 performs at the level of a GF2 ultra, it should cost the same, or a little more, since I'm hoping it has VIVO.
