Futuremark 3DMark 05

There’s a negligible difference in the 3DMark05 results of the cards we’re interested in. Let’s see where this comes from.

The first test of 3DMark05’s looks like a regular 3D shooter, but with more complex graphics than in real shooters. There’s a single frame-per-second of difference between the GeForce 6600 GT AGP and the RADEON 9800 XT, but with the absolute speeds being about 8-12fps this amounts to about 10 percent in favor of ATI’s solution.

The cards are equals in 1024x768 resolution of the “eye candy” mode, but we can’t learn anything about higher display modes: 3DMark05 doesn’t support full-screen anti-aliasing in high resolutions for graphics cards with 128 megabytes of memory.
