X² - The Threat

X²

At the widescreen resolution, the two GPUs bunch up together closely, but at 1024x768, with and without IQ enhancing settings applied, the NVIDIA GPU is faster.

UT2003

UT2003

The NVIDIA GPU is more competent than the MR9600 in UT2003 with its ability in the DX8 test long known from desktop NV3x reviews.

Aquamark 3

Aquamark 3

Aquamark has no option for a 1680x1050 resolution so that setting is discarded.

Aquamark 3 is shader heavy, allowing the MR9600 to gain some ground back. It's a more competent DX9 architecture and Aquamark 3 allows that to be shown.
