Performance in Semi-Synthetic Benchmarks

Final Fantasy XI Official Benchmark 3

The WinFast A6600 GT TDH scores 469 points less than the RADEON 9800 XT in this test. The graphics memory bandwidth seems to be important for a successful completion of Final Fantasy XI Official Benchmark 3, since the considerable core frequency gain doesn’t add much to the performance of the card – only a paltry 100 points.

Aquamark3

Aquamark3 doesn’t present a difficulty for modern graphics cards, having few complex pixel shaders. Complex geometry of the scenes and a high overdraw coefficient are the main problems here. The Leadtek WinFast A6600 GT TDH is quite fast in this test and, despite having three vertex processors against the RADEON 9800 XT’s four, outperforms the latter by 5-10%.

The graphics card from Leadtek feels less assured in the “eye candy” mode, but its performance equals that of the RADEON 9800 XT, except in 1600x1200. But when overclocked, the Leadtek A6600 GT TDH outperforms its main rival in this resolution, too.
