I have but not in side-by-side comparison. A side-by-side comparison
would only be applicable if you were using Direct3D games but the
Monster 3D and the Righteous 3D (both with Voodoo 3DFX chips) are much
faster than the millenium in 3D applications and have more features.
Also remember that the Millenium is a 2D card while the Monster 3D
does not support 2D at all. I did compare the Millenium in
side-by-side tests with the Diamond Stealth 3200 (used to be the
Diamond Stealth 2mb VRAM card) and the Millenium was less than 5%
faster than than the Stealth. This test was conducted using the latest
drivers from both companies in September of 1996.
