The results of the third game test are close to those of the second as both tests use the same rendering algorithms.

Things are different in the eye candy mode, however: the ASUS AX800 XT doesn’t lose at the start and surpasses its rival in high resolutions. Overclocking even makes the ASUS an unrivalled leader in this test.

The fourth game test requires no comments. It is stuffed with pixel shaders that demand complex math1ematical calculations, so the result of the ASUS AX800 XT seems right.

The same goes for the eye candy mode with its full-screen anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering.

Thus, the ASUS AX800 XT’s higher overall score in 3DMark03 is well earned as this card was close to the GeForce 6800 Ultra in the first three tests, and much faster in the fourth test which was the most difficult.
