Benchmarks (Default Clocks)

Dream Catcher's Painkiller

     No Anisotropic Filtering or Anti-aliasing were used so you can see the sheer power of this card under a very wonderful new benchmark that we will start to use called "Painkiller". Piankiller's benchmark looks very much like game 3 of 3DMark 2000, but with music and native DX 9.0 support. it also contains a lot of reflections to test the special features of DX 9.0 and newer native video cards. A simple 1.15 patch, opening the console and giving a C5L1 command will start the time demo.

Epics Unreal Tournament 2004 Demo

     Much like Painkiller UT 2004 Demo depicts how much faster the x800 Pro is under stressed conditions. at 1600x1200 resolution, the x800 Pro is about 35% faster than the 9800XT...

Activision's Call Of Duty

     Call Of Duty doesn't really stress either card as much as we would have liked, but since its using the infamous Q3 engine its an excellent resource for displaying a consistency between each card and the frame rates produced... Notice how well each card scales according to the resolution used. Both cards perform well over playable fps with is important to consider for those budgeters out there...

Microsoft Game's Halo: Combat Evolved

     Halo is a very anticipated game that really taxes a PC. It took long enough to come to the PC platform that I think a lot of the novelty wore off. Despite this shortcoming Halo taxed our cards very thoroughly.
