That's more like what you'd see with v340 patch and 53.03 in 3DMark03. 9800XT has a more attractive architecture for the DX9 spec, NVIDIA's choice of data precision for NV3x impacting its ability to perform as well as rival GPUs from ATI. It's not all bad, but it's nearly 20% faster on 9800XT at our preferred 1024x768 w/4xAA 8xAF setting.
