3DMark05
At the request of some of our readers, I have included results from the 3DMark05 benchmarks even though it slightly goes against the take on real world gaming. For a completely new architecture though, it can give us some valuable information on the possibilities for the R580.
At default clocks, the 7800 GS is actually slower than the X850 XT PE in these tests, though the XFX model is able to close the gap.
As we kind of expected, though the 7800 GS holds the advantage in the pixel shading results, the ATI X850 has the edge in vertex processing and fill rate with the GS model’s slightly crippled architecture.
