The Chronicles of Riddick

The Chronicles of Riddick can use some special features of the GeForce 6/7 architectures, particularly their fast processing of shadows, so the PowerColor X800 GT is only ahead of the RADEON X700 PRO, even at the overclocked frequencies. In the “eye candy” mode the overclocked PowerColor rivals the GeForce 6600 GT, but this is the only thing it can do in this test. This game is one of those cases when a more advanced GPU architecture is preferable to high clock rates and a wide memory bus. And there’ll be more such games in the future.
