  • Other: Uses OpenGL, supports quad pass multitexture and game applied aniso


Another win for clocked 5900 Ultra initially, with FX 5700 Ultra also showing its Radeon rival some legroom in the mid-range results. However with IQ applied, both Radeon's gain some speed and jump right back to being competitive. We're a little system limited using the test graphics boards, but not too bad. All boards perform well, with clocked NV35 making me smile yet again.

Notes

No apparent rendering issues on any card. The same mip stage banding is present on all cards when no IQ is applied, the aniso filter on both drivers clears that up when applied. Anisotropic filtering on all cards looked excellent on other tested maps.
