ATI's Radeon 9800, 9600 & 9200: Still Fighting Strong

AA+AF Performance - Codecreatures CodeBench

Codecult's Codecreatures engine has been turned into a fairly interesting DirectX 8.1 benchmark. Without widespread use of the engine this test ends up being no better than a synthetic benchmark, but it's interesting to see the results to help get an idea for how these cards perform under intense DirectX 8.1 applications.

The Codecreatures benchmark has been a fan of the GeForce FX, as you can tell by its stellar performance here. Improving performance across the board is what is absolutely necessary for the future of the FX line to be successful.
