Performance in Synthetic Benchmarks

Futuremark 3DMark05

The reduction of the memory frequency of the Gigabyte GV-RX26T256H makes is about 10% slower than the reference card in 3DMark05. The Gigabyte scores about 1600 points more than the Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT, though.

As we have seen in the previous tests, the Gigabyte GV-RX26T256H and GeForce 8600 GT match each other’s performance. The reduced memory bandwidth proves to have a small effect on the card’s performance even if you use full-screen antialiasing.
