Futuremark 3DMark06

The 10% gap between the Gigabyte card and the Radeon HD 2600 XT can be observed in the newer Futuremark, too. The GeForce 8600 GT is a loser in this test.

The overall picture remains the same in the two resource-consuming SM3.0/HDR tests, but it is the Gigabyte card that shows the lowest speed in the SM2.0 tests.

The Gigabyte copes worse than its opponent with the SM2.0 tests.

The advantages of the RV630-based cards are outlined sharply in the SM3.0/HDR tests. The Gigabyte GV-RX26T256H beats Nvidia’s solutions here.
