Things are absolutely the same in the third test which doesn’t differ much from the second one from the technological point of view. The load on the vertex processors is higher here, though. They have to realistically model the hairdo of the girl in the scene.

The fourth test makes use of version 2.0 pixel and vertex shaders to render the water and the foliage on the trees, respectively. This is the most complex test math1ematically. RADEON X8 processors execute such shaders faster than GeForce6 ones, so the PowerColor X850 XT Platinum Edition AGP deservedly takes the first place.

The overall score seems correct, too. The PowerColor card was either worse than or equal to the GeForce 6800 Ultra in three tests out of four and only won the fourth test.
