3DMark05

At the request of some of our readers, I have included results from the latest 3DMark benchmarks even though it slightly goes against the take on real world gaming.    

We were also able to compare a total of ten different cards here instead of the three on our game play graphs.

The 6800 GS takes the win in both 3DMark05 game benchmarks, beating out the X1600 XT and the 6800 GT by a moderate gap.  SLI performance sees an 86% gain in 3DMark score and the single overclocked 6800 GS shows only minor gains under 5%.

Our synthetic test numbers show that the 6800 GS greatly over powers the X1600 XT in terms of fill rate though the ATI card does have an advantage in vertex processing power.  The pixel shader processing edge goes to the NVIDIA 6800 GS card by a lower margin.
