Performance in RPG

Gothic 3

The current version of the game doesn’t support FSAA, so we performed the test with anisotropic filtering only.

The Gigabyte GV-RX26T256H and Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT have similar, and very low, results here.

You need an Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB or faster graphics card to play this game normally.

Neverwinter Nights 2

This is a hard nut of our test program. The poor results of the ATI RV630 aren’t a defeat if you compare them to those of the other cards. But the game is included into the Gigabyte GV-RX26T256H kit, so the speed of 10fps is depressing. The buyer won’t be able to appreciate the game fully on this graphics card.

The more expensive Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB remains the only card to play Neverwinter Nights normally at 1280x1024 and 1600x1200 with maximum graphics quality settings.
