Performance in Strategy

Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour

This game likes graphics cards with fast memory and high pixel shader performance. The Extreme AX600 XT reaches the speed ceiling imposed by the CPU in 1024x768; the GeForce 6600 cannot do the same due to its low clock rates. In 1280x1024, however, the GeForce 6600 equals the ASUS card. In the highest resolution the Extreme AX600 XT can only compete with the GeForce 6600 at the overclocked frequencies.

The fast memory allows the Extreme AX600 XT to work well in the eye candy mode, but it loses to the GeForce 6600 in high resolutions when clocked at the default frequencies.

Perimeter

There’s no talking about playability in Perimeter; only the monstrous representatives of RADEON X800 and GeForce 6800 families provide it here. Anyway, the Extreme AX600 XT/HTVD turns in the best results among all the participating graphics cards.
