OpenGL Gaming Benchmarks

Well, Quake and Siluro FX 5600 Ultra DT seem to be born for each other: the non-overclocked card from ABIT is better than RADEON 9600 PRO in all tests, overclocking making the gap even wider. Only in the “hard” mode RADEON 9600 PRO, sky-high overclocked, catches up with FX 5600 Ultra DT. RADEON 9500 PRO did surprisingly good, notwithstanding its much lower frequencies (275/540MHz). Well, there shouldn’t be much surprise really: its eight-pipeline architecture helps the GPU perform at equals with the competitors under high workloads.

“Return to Castle Wolfenstein”, on the contrary, favors GPUs from ATI Technologies: Siluro FX 5600 Ultra DT loses the light mode completely and comes closer to the rivals only with FSAA and AF enabled.

RADEON 9500 PRO once again shows an excellent performance.
