Deathmatch demo4, Eye-Candy Mode

On deathmatch levels graphics cards fell themselves much more comfortably: the GeForce 6800 Ultra and GT deliver around 40fps in 1600x1200, which is nice, while the RADEON X800 XT and the GeForce 6800 can demonstrate “almost” sufficient performance in 1280x1024. Still, both cannot be considered as good performers.

As we could already figure out, the CATALYST 4.9 beta drivers provide more substantial benefit in the mode with anisotropic filtering and full-scene antialiasing enabled. Unfortunately, the only GeForce 6800-series board ATI's RADEON 9800 XT manages to outperform is the model 6800 that costs $299.
