Performance in Synthetic Benchmarks

Futuremark 3DMark05

The new card scores even less points overall than the Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB, probably due to the different version of the driver. On the other hand, 3DMark05 is not an adequate benchmark anymore. It cannot show the real potential of modern graphics cards with unified architecture and advanced computing abilities.

There is no difference between the G92-based cards in the first test. In the second, the cards only differ at low resolutions. It’s only in the third test, which is the most sophisticated one, that we see a stable performance gain of 5-6%.
