The Chronicles of Riddick

The game can use the specifics of NVIDIA’s graphics architecture that give certain advantages when rendering shadows, so the GeForce 6x00 cards have excellent speeds here. The WinFast PX6600 GT is faster than the RADEON X700 PRO and XT in all resolutions. In 1024x768, when the graphics memory subsystem has the smallest influence on the performance, the Leadtek card even outperforms the RADEON X800 XL. It makes sense to overclock the CPU – the performance gain is 10% here.

The Leadtek card fell behind the missing-in-the-shops RADEON X700 XT in the “eye candy” mode since the latter features a better memory controller and 256MB of memory, their bus widths being the same. The performance of the PX6600 GT in high resolutions is roughly on the same level with the RADEON X700 PRO. Overclocking doesn’t bring any significant gains as we couldn’t overclock the graphics memory well.
