Performance in Simulators

Colin McRae Rally 2005

Colin McRae Rally 2005 used to run very fast on ATI’s previous-generation graphics cards which were unrivalled at executing simple pixel shaders. The GeForce 6600 GDDR2 challenges the leadership of the RADEON X700 in this game, however. We mean the XFX card with its overclocked GPU – it is slower than the ATI card in the “eye candy” mode only, by about 7-8%.

Pacific Fighters

This is an OpenGL application which is the same as saying that the GeForce 6600 series is victorious once again. Even the ordinary GeForce 6600 is two times faster than the RADEON X700 as well as the newer RADEON X1300 PRO. The XFX GeForce 6600 GDDR2 easily yields 60fps in 1280x1024 at the max graphics quality settings, so this card suits well for all gamers who want to take an economical flight, i.e. without paying more than $100-120 for the graphics card.
