Retail X700 Pro Roundup

Overclocked Half-life 2 Performance

Interestingly, the Geforce 6600GT outperforms even the overclocked X700 Pros under Half-Life 2 here. The different overclock settings give almost the exact same result, and the ABIT card very nearly matches the performance of the 256MB version. Again, turning down things like reflections, texture detail and other memory impacting options would put more emphasis on GPU speed and make the ABIT part look even more like the other 256MB cards.

Half-Life 2 Performance

This time, the NVIDIA card falls in behind the HIS IceQ at overclocked speeds, though it still leads the stock Radeon X700 Pro 256 MB part. The ABIT card falls a little further behind the 256MB cards as the added filtering just puts more pressure on its memory subsystem.

    Ah, poor ATI . . .

    Really though, this is the market segment that typically is the bulk of sales, and if ATI can't keep up with nVidia on this one, it will be interesting to see if the new x800 XL and Co can offset the $200 segment.
