Again the same picture. FIC A92 is a little faster than Gigabyte GV-R9200 and both cards are pretty far behind RADEON 9000 PRO.

Serious Sam: Second Encounter, Grand Cathedral

This game is based on a different engine that is why we can expect different results this time. Let’s have a look:

In fact we see no drastic changes, although FIC A92 for the first time got a little slower than Gigabyte’s solution, though only in 800x600 under heavy workload. This is somewhat strange, because we expected the card with 64MB graphics memory to lose to a competitor with twice as much memory in higher resolutions rather than in lower ones.

As we see from the OpenGL benchmarks results, a small advantage of FIC A92 over Gigabyte MAYA II GV-R9200 is not a measuring error, but a real tendency.
