Subject: Engine knps and video card question

Author: John Hatcher

Date: 13:31:44 01/15/02

I just installed a new video card and, quite unexpectedly, I found that all my
chess engines (using the Fritz interface) are reporting significantly higher
knps during analysis - in the range of 50% faster knps.

The video upgrade was a modest one - from onboard INTEL AGP (8mb shared) to a
ATI Xpert 128 (16mb).  The computer is a 333mhz Celeron with 294MB memory.

Does this make any sense?  How does upgrading video increase knps of a chess
engine?  Does it?

Thanks: JOHN
