Regulator Level

“Regulator” level also features complex indoor scenes with pretty difficult lighting model. Both RADEON X800- and GeForce 6800-series calculate 3 and 4 light sources in a single pass respectively, saving passes in order to achieve higher performance.

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

Speed boost obtained by both series of top graphics processors is not really significant, but it exists and provides certain benefits to gamers. Alignment of forces did not change with ATI’s RADEON X800 performance increase: the GeForce 6800 Ultra, GeForce 6800 GT and GeForce 6800 appear to be faster in “pure” mode than competing offerings.
