Despite the constant progress and development of new technologies, the manufacturers have to compromise when introducing new generation of graphics accelerators. High gaming performance requires massive cooling solutions that affect the price of the end-product noticeably. Today we are going to see if Gigabyte Technology succeeded with their version of a compromise like that.
Performance in Synthetic Benchmarks
Futuremark 3DMark05

The reduction of the memory frequency of the Gigabyte GV-RX26T256H makes is about 10% slower than the reference card in 3DMark05. The Gigabyte scores about 1600 points more than the Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT, though.



As we have seen in the previous tests, the Gigabyte GV-RX26T256H and GeForce 8600 GT match each other’s performance. The reduced memory bandwidth proves to have a small effect on the card’s performance even if you use full-screen antialiasing.
