A1200 Accelerator Benchmarks (MIPS)

[StevenJGore]

Hi,

Does anybody know a website where I can get benchmarks (preferably in MIPS) for the various A1200 accelerators that are available? I am about to buy one, and thought it might be interesting to compare Blizzard, Apollo, and Viper cards for example, and the difference the amount of installed RAM has on the results. I would also like to compare 030, 040, and 060 processors. I have tried a google search to find the info, but without success.

Cheers!
Steve

Apollo 060 66Mhz 51 MIPS
Apollo 020 25Mhz 4 MIPS
Standard A1200 2 MIPS (?)

Anybody know any more? I am particularly interested in a MIPS benchmark for an 030/50Mhz and a 060/50Mhz, just for a comparison.

lorddef, that was exactly what I was looking for.
Every accelerator card under the sun seems to be in the list! I will use the list to help me choose a card.
Many thanks!

Just been studying the results in detail...

It's interesting that the results for an 030/50Mhz aren't that far behind the 060/50Mhz, considering the difference in price. I am tempted to perhaps go for an 030/50Mhz because I am trying to do all this on a budget. Anybody have any experience of what these two processors are like in-game?

Thanks for all your replies guys!  :-)

I'm aware that MIPS isn't a particularly good way of comparing different processors, but I had to start somewhere! The Amiga benchmarks on the page that lorddef linked to higher up was exactly the sort of thing I was looking for... comparison tables for accelerator cards and dozens of benchmark tests.

I'm after an accelerator card mainly to upgrade to the sort of capability I would have liked my Amiga to have had in the mid-90's... I'm not particularly interested in running Quake, Wipeout, or any other fancy 3D Amiga games after AB3DII - I've got my AMD 2100+ PC with Geforce 4 for those sorts of games  :-D. I'm upgrading to run 'classic' Amiga 1200 games up to about 1996/7 for nostalgic reasons, and for that I think a Blizzard 1230/50 with 32MB RAM should do just fine.

But I still envy those of you with 060/50's and 060/66's!  :cry:  :-)

Steve.
