Pacific Fighters

Being limited by their 16 texture-mapping units, the Radeon X1800 and Radeon X1900 XT can be said to have some troubles with texturing speed as opposed to the GeForce 7800 GTX that has 24 TMUs. The ASUS EAX1800XT TOP can at least partially make up for that deficiency in high resolutions by means of its 700MHz GPU clock rate. But in low resolutions the game engine, originally developed with the GeForce 6/7 architecture in mind, puts down an insurmountable barrier at 65-66fps before the Radeon X1800/X1900 cards. Moreover, the Radeons do not support vertex texturing and thus deliver a lower-quality picture than the GeForce 7800 in this game. The ASUS EAX1800 TOP ensures a comfortable frame rate in resolutions up to 1280x1024 with turned-on full-screen antialiasing and anisotropic filtering, but you should turn to the GeForce 7800 family to enjoy Pacific Fighters in full.
