Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
The Galaxy's out-of-the-box clocks help it outrun a 400/400 7600 GS by quite some distance in our Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory test. It almost catches the 7600 GT, too, showing that memory bandwidth is a big deal for the G73-based boards at high resolution with AA and AF applied.
Quake 4
Our Quake 4 test produces results that mirror what we saw with Splinter Cell. A matched memory clock helps the Galaxy maintain near performance parity with the 7600 GT, despite a 60MHz deficit in core clock. That Galaxy's board can outrun a X1800 GTO in this test isn't to be missed, too.
Far Cry
With memory bandwidth sufficiently high enough, raw shader rate is what helps a board along in Far Cry as we see here. So while the Galaxy is much faster than a stock 7600 GS it can't keep pace with a GT.
