-------------------------------------------------------------------------- VSPEED.EXE reports the video throughput for bit blit operations from DRAM to VRAM for both the banked VGA and linear frame buffer mechanisms. To test the linear frame buffer you must have a VESA 2.0 conforming driver. If you experience difficulties with VSPEED try using -l or -L on the command line to eliminate the linear frame buffer test. For example: VSPEED -l will test only the banked VGA mechanism. VSPEED will test both the banked VGA and the linear frame buffer (assuming the card and VESA driver support it). -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sample VSPEED results from a 200MHz Pentium Pro motherboard with the B0 stepping of the 82450, a 4MB Matrox MGA Millennium, and FASTVID patches: Copy DRAM to banked VGA: 87.72 million bytes per second Copy DRAM to linear framebuffer: 93.46 million bytes per second
