Lots of interesting data here; let's look at each chart seperately.
First of we have the fill rate. A quick glance shows the HD 2600 XT to come in 4th out of 5th place here, but if you look at the numbers, the gaps really aren't as bad as this position would indicate. For instance, the HD 2600 XT's multi-texturing fill-rate is 93% as fast as the XFX 8600 GT -- which isn't that bad, considering this XFX 8600 GT comes factory overclocked.
The HD 2600 XT gets out-gunned in the particles test, but comes first in the Perlin Noise test. Better particles or more real looking textures -- that's a tough call. As for pixel shading, those extra stream processors seem to come up big. But with the vertex shader test, well, the HD 2600 XT just doesn't impress.
Now that we are done with the synthetic benchmarks, let's check out same game performance...
(Note: the BFG 7600 GT OC did not participate in the particles test because it lacks Shader Model 3 support.)
