Regulator Level

“Regulator” level uses pretty complex lighting models and, from theoretical standpoint, should benefit pretty seriously from more efficient lighting calculations by the RADEON X800- and the GeForce 6800-series.

Note: minimal fps are marked with white numbers on the diagrams, black numbers represent average fps.

The reality does not reflect the theory. The RADEON X800-series gain little with the addition of Shader Model 2.0b. The RADEON X800 XT cannot be rivalled by anything in high resolutions, while the RADEON X800 PRO is still following, not leading, compared to the GeForce 6800 GT. NVIDIA’s GeForce 6800 performs in-line with the RADEON 9800 XT.
