4xAA 8xAF

SC:CT

SC:CT isn't such a big win for the 7800 GS boards, versus 6800 Ultra, as it has been in the other two benchmarks (especially at 1600x1200). 6800 standard has the measure of X1600 PRO and 5900 Ultra takes up the rear. Memory bandwidth helps in the mid-range (see 6800), so that perpetual battle for die and pad space for a 256-bit bus in money-making GPUs will continue, especially as die sizes get smaller!

The 7800 GS is pretty much the fastest thing ever to grace AGP, it seems.

The eVGA is faster in the HDR test, highlighting the same clock scaling we've seen throughout testing.
