Performance in Synthetic Benchmarks

Futuremark 3DMark 03

The GeForce 6600 GT AGP has a considerably higher total score than the RADEON 9800 has, but don’t forget that 3DMark defaults to 1024x768 resolution. So let’s better examine the results of this benchmark in more detail.

The first test of 3DMark03’s is very simple and only uses DirectX 7 functions, so it’s natural for the GeForce 6600 GT to win here.

The new GeForce is better than the RADEON 9800 XT in the “eye candy?mode, too, excepting 1600x1200 resolution where it feels the lack of memory bandwidth again.
