Chronicles of Riddick

The Chronicles of Riddick game is not that shader intensive, but uses OpenGL and takes advantage of NVIDIA’s UltraShadow technology, it better performs on the GeForce 7800 rather than on the RADEON X1800.

While the speed provided by the RADEON X1800 XT should be enough to play the game, it is outperformed by the GeForce 7800 GTX by 35%. Due to lower core and memory speeds, the RADEON X1800 XL is even slower compared to the RADEON X850 XT Platinum Edition (PE).

The gap between competitors does not shrink even in the eye candy mode. The RADEON X1800-series is constantly slower compared to the competing GeForce 7800 lineup in the Chronicles of Riddick game.
