Highly Anticipated DirectX 9 Game 1

All the 16-pipelined graphics cards have the same speed at the pure speed settings of this upcoming game (see our article called A Next-Generation DirectX 9.0 Game Graphics Performance Preview for more details). They all hit the ceiling imposed by the central processor of the system.

The Under Two level is less dependent on the CPU and allows better evaluating the speeds of the graphics cards. Well, there’s anyway parity between the ASUS AX800 XT and the GeForce 6800 Ultra, save for 1024x768 resolution where the CPU rather than the graphics card seems to play the crucial part.
