Performance in Semi-Synthetic Benchmarks

Aquamark3

Aquamark3 puts a big load on the graphics memory subsystem, but the GPU frequency and the number of pixel pipelines are still more important in the “pure speed” mode. This time the PowerColor X800 GT is somewhat slower than both GeForces at the default frequencies and equals them in the overclocked mode. After we increase the graphics memory load more by turning on full-screen antialiasing and anisotropic filtering, the PowerColor X800 GT shows its best and outperforms the GeForce 6800 in high resolutions due to its high memory frequency.

Final Fantasy XI Official Benchmark 3

The six vertex processors and the high clock rates of the PowerColor X800 GT give this card the second place in this test, after the RADEON X800 XL.
