Notes
Testing was mostly free of issues. Some intermittent rendering errors were seen in Far Cry with the Dual and 78.03. The reported results in Far Cry for the Dual were obtained when the issue wasn't manifest, but bear that in mind. Secondly, the N7800GT Dual would crash during the F.E.A.R. walkthrough with antialiasing on, so the NoAA NoAF results were the only numbers obtainable. The same software suite used to review ATI Radeon X1800 XT was used to benchmark the Dual.Only high image quality modes were tested using various levels of antialiasing and anistropic texture filtering applied.
