Far Cry

The GeForce 6600 GDDR2 passes this test at the same speed as the RADEON X700 and leaves it behind in high resolutions due to faster memory. The RADEON X1300 PRO with a very efficient memory controller joins them in the “eye candy” mode. The XFX graphics card is only second to the GeForce 6600 GT here. Both versions of GeForce 6600 GDDR2 and the RADEON X700 ensure a comfortable frame rate in resolutions up to 1280x1024, while the GeForce 6600 and the RADEON X1300 PRO in 1024x768 only.

Graphics cards with Shader Model 3.0 support have a certain advantage on the Research map, and the XFX GeForce 6600 GDDR2 is beyond competition in all the modes and resolutions. Its advantage over the reference sample isn’t very big, though, and amounts to 4-5% in high resolutions of the “pure speed” mode and to 1% in the “eye candy” mode.
