Serious Sam 2 AMD Platform

How do the card far on the AMD platform. Will the benchmarks be higher or lower than the Intel ones ?. Remember that in all of our benchmarks sound was disabled.

The 1024x768x32 resolution can be defined as one where the subsytem and graphics cards both play an important role in the overall performance. We see that the AMD-based platform takes around 10FPS out of the Intel offering. The difference begins to deteriorate as we move up the resolution scale and the cards present the bottlenecks.

The same trend emerges here. We have three leaders followed by the rest of the cards in no particular order. As each benchmark can differ by a few percent on a number of runs, this is to be expected. It still seems as if having 64MB of RAM is no real hindrance at higher resolutions. The Creative, whilst consistently being the slowest of the bunch, is not overtly handicapped by having half the RAM of its competitors. It's 4x AGP speed seems to hurt more.
