HIS Radeon X850XT IceQ II iTurbo VIVO (AGP)

In the next set of benches, we turned the FSAA and the AF on to 4x and 8x respectively to see if the narrow leads seen in most of the previous testing increased.  We instantly saw where the extra money the X850XT costs pays off at.  Look at Half Life 2 below.  Wow!

The HL2 benches speak for themselves.  Let's see if that trend continues with the NVidia slanted (by ID Software) Doom3 benches.

Results here were pretty much proportionate to the 'speed' run differences we saw earlier.  If you are all about Doom3 and nothing else, NVidia is the only way for you to go.  But a one game mentality makes Jack a dull boy.
