The third test doesn’t differ much from the second one, so we have similar results here. The WinFast A6600 GT is ahead of the RADEON 9800 XT at its default frequencies and approaches the GeForce 6800 – its GPU is clocked at 325MHz only – at the overclocked frequencies.

The “eye candy” mode of the third test produces analogous results to what we have seen in the second test.

The fourth test makes an intensive use of version 2.0 pixel shaders to render the water, so the pixel shader performance of the graphics card is vitally important here. The WinFast A6600 GT TDH doesn’t feel it to be a problem and is marching ahead of the RADEON 9800 XT and abreast to the GeForce 6800. The smaller number of the pipelines is compensated by the much higher GPU clock rate in the latter case. Thanks to the more advanced memory subsystem the RADEON 9800 XT overtakes the Leadtek clocked at its default frequencies.

The Leadtek card is somewhat less successful in the “eye candy” mode, but it’s anyway no worse than the RADEON 9800 XT. Thus, the overall victory of the Leadtek WinFast A6600 GT TDH over the RADEON 9800 XT in 3DMark03 seems well-deserved.
