Perimeter

Perimeter is an exceedingly demanding game that can use up all the resources of a modern graphics card. In fact, none of the devices participating in this test, except the relatively expensive RADEON X800 PRO, can ensure a satisfactory speed here. The N6600 GT/TD boasts a more advanced architecture than the RADEON 9800 XT, so its result is better. The ASUS card enjoys a 30% advantage over the 8-pipelined solution from ATI in 1600x1200 resolution.

When we enable FSAA and anisotropic filtering, the 128-bit memory bus of the ASUS N6600 GT/TD becomes a bottleneck. The device is much slower than the RADEON 9800 XT in this mode.
