Notes
The recent launch of new GPUs from ATI and NVIDIA have caused us to jiggle the benchmark suite around a little for retail board reviews. While reference boards get the theoretical treatment, we'll endeavour to submit retail boards to some popular recent game title benchmarking, along with a couple of golden oldies, to keep things fresh and up to date. So you'll see the likes of Far Cry and Painkiller make an appearance.The X800 PRO came clocked at a shade under 475MHz core and nearly bag on 900MHz memory, according to Powerstrip.
Control Panel AA and AF settings were only used when the application didn't supply its own control.
