Project: Snowblind

Project: Snowblind uses a lot of special effects based on pixel shaders 2.0. The new-generation RADEON X1000 family performs these shaders relatively fast although not as efficiently as we wish it would. At least, it is only the high working frequencies that help RADEON come out on top in many cases. In our case RADEON X1600 XT is powerful enough to outpace GeForce 6800 or go neck and neck with it. However, it fails to catch up with the RADEON X800 XL and GeForce 6800 GT. When we enabled FSAA RADEON X1600 XT slows down in higher resolutions and by 1600x1200 it falls behind GeForce 6600 GT.
