Interestingly, the Mobility 128 with 16MB actually beats out its higher clocked desktop sibling, the Rage 128 Pro. We're not exactly sure how to explain these results. It happens at every resolution under both Direct3D benchmarks, so our instincts tell us its something about the Direct3D drivers. Either the Mobility 128 featured a newer D3D driver that enhanced performance quite a bit or that driver does not have all functions implemented yet.
Otherwise, performance is quite good virtually matching the TNT2 when configured with 16MB. A major hit is taken with only 8MB as UT is a very texture intensive game. The effect is exacerbated with 32-bit color and/or higher resolutions.
