Performance in Semi-Synthetic Benchmarks

Final Fantasy XI Official Benchmark 2

The RADEON 9800 XT/PRO wins both the raw speed and eye-candy modes with a considerable gap from the others. The Gainward card is spectacular again at overclocked frequencies.

Aquamark3

Aquamark3 is a little bit partial towards NVIDIA chips as you may see in the first three diagrams. But as soon as we enable FSAA and AF, the situation is reversed and the RADEONs have some advantage. The Gainward is the slowest at its regular frequencies, but reaches the level of the GeForce FX 5950 Ultra at overclocking.
