Performance in Synthetic Benchmarks

Futuremark 3DMark05 build 120

The first prize here belongs to GeCube solution. The flagship Nvidia card yields about 700 points to the leader here, but at the same time it is slightly ahead of Radeon X1900 XT working at lower frequencies than Radeon X1900 XTX.

Throughout the entire Game 1 test GeCube Radeon X1900 XTX retains its leadership, although it is only 5-10% ahead of Radeon X1900 XT and GeForce 7900 GTX.

In Game 2 test, which is also quite extensive, GeForce 7900 GTX manages to win the leadership in 1024x768 resolution, however, in higher resolutions GeCube Radeon X1900 XTX regains the laurels thanks to the ring bus memory controller.

Game 3 test requires the maximum pixel shader processing speed as well as fast work with the memory, which is very favorable conditions for Radeon X1900. So, here GeForce 7900 GTX gets defeated not only by the GeCube Radeon X1900 XTX, but also by Radeon x1900 XT.

All in all, GeCube’s leadership is indisputable: Radeon X1900 XTX is a great combination of fast pixel shader processing and efficient work of the memory subsystem, so its victory in 3DMark05 is quite natural.
