Performance in Third Person 3D Shooters

Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow

Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow was the first game where overclocking gave some speed bonus to the WinFast PX6600 GT TDH kit. Yet even this didn’t help it to get to the level of the GeForce 6800 GT. The resolutions up to 1280x1024 are only playable. We want to remind you that we benchmark third-person shooters with a third-party utility and the results should be regarded as approximations.

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within

Overclocking brings in a rather high speed gain in Prince of Persia , too. The Leadtek solution is about 5-15% slower than the GeForce 6800 GT at the default frequencies and only 2-5% slower at the overclocked frequencies (545/1020MHz). The overclocked Leadtek SLI platform is even as fast as the GeForce 6800 Ultra in lower resolutions. Still, the RADEON X800 XL looks preferable, even in high display modes.
