Welcome to our FPS benchmarks.

The HD 2600 XT doesn't perform very well at all in the F.E.A.R benchmark. It would not have been too bad if it was only beaten by the more expensive XFX 8600 GT; but, it isn't able to seperate itself from either the 7600 GT OC or the X1600 Pro. These three cards are around the same price ballpark, but  it would be fair to hope that this newer generation of card would be able to pull bigger performance gains. It looks like it isn't only the 128-bit memory interface that is holding back the card -- the 8600 GT really outshines the HD 2600 XT here. With AA and AF on, the X1600 Pro actually comes in faster than the HD 2600 XT. Surprising, and not pretty.

The HD 2600 XT fairs better in Prey, but again, if you look it the AA/AF numbers it doesn't exactly shine.

Let's see what the next benches bring...
