X3: Reunion

There is a significant increase in the average speed of the GeForce 8600 GTS which cannot be only due to the different configuration of our testbed. It must surely be the new driver. The minimum of speed has got lower, however, even though not below comfortable level. Thus, the GeForce 8600 GTS is now preferable to the Radeon X1950 Pro in the mainstream category when it comes to playing X3. This card allows playing at 1600x1200 with enabled FSAA. On the other hand, the Radeon X1950 Pro ensures a higher minimum of speed.
