Performance in Strategies

Age of Empires

Given the nature of the game, texture filtering quality does not affect performance in any case. Considering minimal FPS, we would suggest that the Radeon X1950 XTX is somewhat faster than the GeForce 7950 GX2 in resolutions higher than 1600x1200.

Rise of Nations

If ATI’s HQ AF does not really bring the speed down, Nvidia’s “shimmer-less” trilinear filtering lowers performance of the GeForce 7950 GX2 a little. Nevertheless, the latter is still up to 13% faster than the Radeon X1950 XTX.
