Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow

The game is crammed with sophisticated and beautiful shader-based special effects and GPUs from ATI have an advantage here. The fill rate doesn’t practically affect the speed – the overclocked ASUS AX800 PRO has the same fps rate as the much more powerful RADEON X800 XT and the GeForce 6800 Ultra.

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time

Prince of Persia can also boast numerous shader-based visual effects, but they are less complex than those in Far Cry, for example. That’s why we can expect graphics cards with a high geometry-processing speed and a high fill rate to win here. The expectations came true as the GeForce 6800 Ultra got the best result. As for the hero of our review, the ASUS AX800 PRO, it couldn’t get close to the 16-pipelined cards, but left the cards of the older generation far behind.
