The standout result here is from the GeForce 6800 GT PCIe. There's literally no drop from 1024x768 through to 1600x1200. ASUS' AX800XT PCIe card only drops by around 20% from the lowest to highest resolutions. Another testament to how great the leap has been from previous generation's cards. One would need super-cooled, super-overclocked CPUs to maximise the cards' potential.

4X AA/8X AF is enough to make the cards buckle. Once again, if we ignore platform differences, the PCIe X800 XT is around 20% faster than its Pro counterpart. Is that worth an extra Ā£60?. That depends entirely on your budget.
