Sapphire X1650 Pro - PAGE 6
J. Micah Grunert - Friday, September 22nd, 2006

Our first two benchmarks are older favorites. Call of Duty 2 almost screams "Render me fast or don't render me at all!" A very good test for fill rates. As for Doom 3, it has some of the most aggressive shaders I have ever seen. These two tests should give us some indication of what we could expect to see later.

It looks like our X1800 GTO and the 7600 GT OC have taken the lead. Our X1650 Pro holds a respectable position, right in the middle, just about where I expected it to sit.

And the results look nearly the same, but I was a little surprised to see the other NVIDIA-based card pull ahead in the non-AA/AF tests.
