Colin McRae Rally 2005

Colin McRae Rally 2005, like Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, prefers cards on ATI’s chips that have a higher pixel shader performance. It’s not that the NV43 executes pixel shaders badly, but the WinFast A6600 GT TDH is slower than the RADEON 9800 XT in this test, and rather considerably so.

It looks strange but the gap between the RADEON 9800 XT and the WinFast A6600 GT TDH becomes smaller in the “eye candy” mode and even vanishes completely when we overclock the Leadtek card, except in 1280x1024 resolution.
