3D Performance: First Person 3D Shooter Games

Return To Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory

The very first benchmark reveals the advantages of the approach used by GeXcube Company in their GeCube product: the positive effect of the faster memory is undeniable. Overclocking is rewarding, too. You may notice that it’s more beneficial to increase the memory frequency, rather than the graphics chip frequency, since RADEON 9600 PRO is clocked just a little slower than the standard 9600 XT.

In this case the use of the new driver version led to quite a significant performance drop in heavy work modes. If we are talking about “fast memory” and its influence, then I should admit that it is not so tangible here, though it definitely exists.
