Performance in RPG

Gothic 3

The current version of the game doesn’t support FSAA, so we performed the test with anisotropic filtering only.

The Gothic 3 engine is not very optimized, and none of the tested cards can provide an acceptable speed at 1280x1024 if you select the highest graphics quality settings. The ASUS EAH2600PRO takes last place, being over 15% slower than the GeForce 8600 GT.

Neverwinter Nights 2

The game offers FSAA starting with version 1.04, but its support for HDR is still deficient, so we are benchmarking the cards in the eye candy mode only.

The ATI Radeon X1950 Pro is the only card to approach the 15fps mark necessary for playing this game normally. The other cards have much worse results, the ASUS EAH2600PRO being the slowest of them.
