Project Snowblind

Project Snowblind is a yet another sci-fi first-person shooter that greatly uses pixel shader 2.0 effects.

It has so far been considered that ATI’s RADEON X1800-series “sacrificed” Shader Model 2.0 performance efficiency in favour of some other capabilities, and, in fact, it does seem so, based on the results in Project Snowblind title. The RADEON X1800 XL cannot achieve results similar to those of the GeForce 7800 GT, whereas the RADEON X1800 XT seems to beat the GeForce 7800 GTX in terms of performance seemingly because of extreme clock-speeds of core and memory.

With full-scene antialiasing and anisotropic filtering activated, the RADEON X1800 XT continues to greatly outperform the GeForce 7800 GTX, nevertheless, the RADEON X1800 XL does not really seem to be better than the GeForce 7800 GT.
