Benchmarks: Splinter Cell
Splinter Cell
Finally, SC:CT benchmarks, both HDR and non-HDR.
At 1024x768 it's already looking grim for the 7300 GS, stuck below 25fps average. The X1300 Pro sits a little below 35fps. Interestingly, ATI's Xpress 200 integrated graphics more or less equal Gigabyte's 6200 TurboCache, settings differences notwithstanding.
Upping the stakes lowers the framerate, not one card performing well enough to provide playability.
Turning on HDR magnifies the problem, the two cards with which we were able to test HDR with couldn't touch anything close to a playable average FPS.
The clear trend throughout our testing is the X1300 Pro running out in front, with MSI's NX7300GS a sort-of-close second. The other solutions? We probably wouldn't bother trying to play games with them.
