Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory performance









The EAH2900XT continues to beat out the direct NVIDIA equivalent, sure, but it's bested by a GeForce 8800 GTX - a card that occupies the second rung of NVIDIA's G80 ladder.

Benchmark summary

The ASUS EAH2900XT's performance is akin to a GeForce 8800 GTS 640's, and both are available for around £250.

NVIDIA feels that its partners, including ASUS, are able to charge £400+ for the GeForce 8800 Ultra because its performance is significantly better than the competition's finest.

We have no reservations in proclaiming the EN8800ULTRA the winner in pure benchmark speed, but let's now focus on value and see which offers the best bang4buck.
