Performance in Synthetic Benchmarks

Futuremark 3DMark03

The difference between the GeForce 6800 Ultra and the RADEON X850 XT Platinum Edition seems negligible against the speeds of the GeForce 7800 GTX SLI, GeForce 7800 GTX and GeForce 6800 Ultra SLI platforms.

The highest possible speed is reached in the first two resolutions. In 1600x1200 the GeForces leave no chance to the RADEON X850 XT Platinum Edition. The latter, however, beats the GeForce 6800 Ultra in the “eye candy” mode.

NVIDIA’s cards have been good in the second test since the times of the GeForce FX architecture. The GeForce 6800 Ultra is similar to the RADEON X850 XT Platinum Edition here, while the more advanced solutions and the SLI platforms have much higher speeds.
