Sapphire Radeon X800 XL Ultimate - PAGE 6
Tom Karpik - Monday, August 29th, 2005

Doom 3

Ahh ... OpenGL -- always a forte of NVIDIA cards. Here we can see the 6800 GT holding a significant lead over the X800 XL in non-AA/AF numbers. Even when AA/AF are enabled, the 6800 GT maintains a definite lead. If all you plan to play are OpenGL games, you know what to buy.

Half-Life 2

The X800 XL is just marginally better than the 6800 GT in all cases when it comes to Half-Life 2. It seems that the X800 XL simply has a better DirectX 9 implementation.
