Performance in Gaming Tests

Far Cry

The cards are equals in Far Cry 1.1: the Leadtek is a little faster in the “pure performance” mode, while the PowerColor – with full-screen anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering. This arrangement holds on at overclocking, too.

Halo

The Leadtek card, based on the 16-pipelined GeForce 6800 GPU, outperforms the RADEON X800 Pro in Halo. Even overclocking is no help for the RADEON here.

Unreal Tournament 2004 Demo

Graphics cards with ATI chips have traditionally been strong in Unreal Tournament 2004 Demo, but the 12-pipelined RADEON X800 Pro can only defeat the GeForce 6800 GT in the FSAA+AF operational mode.

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne

The graphics cards perform similarly in the pure performance mode, where their speed was limited by the CPU, as well as in the hard mode with full-screen anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering enabled.
