Software
We used Far Cry, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and Quake 4 for evaluating performance, as usual.Notes
We compare the two noted GeForce 7300 GTs to an MSI NX7300GS-TD256E and GeCube's X1300 XT Platinum, to see how the 7300 GTs shake out.We ran each benchmark a trio of times and if any of the three results looked erroneous, we threw all three away until we could collect three within a margin of statistical error. Any major attempts needed to get three reliable results we let you know about, of course. Apart from that, things are as noted on the graphs and in the graph commentary. Want to know more?
