Gaming – Discrete
Our gaming tests set out to find games that were heavily CPU dependent in order to test for platform differences. Games at higher resolutions with more emphasis on the GPU won’t show us any differences, if they exist.
These tests were not run in any SLI vs. CrossFire modes.
Call of Duty 2 v1.20
We ran CoD2 at 1024×768 with the GPU settings at Medium.
3DMark06 v1.10
This benchmark is used by many in the enthusiast crowd to compare their systems so we decided it would be good for our readers if we included numbers from our test system here as well.
Our gaming tests using the discrete 7600 GT card show performances that are nearly identical.
