Test Drive Unlimited

Whatever the resolution, the GeForce 8800 GTS 512 MB comes in just behind the 8800 GTX, which manages to keep the lead. Nevertheless, the gap isn't bigger than 10%. However, we notice that the performances of the new 8800 GTS have difficulties distinguishing themselves from the 8800 GT under Test Drive Unlimited. The increase is only of 8% whatever the resolution (give or take 1%), which is disappointing knowing the gap in raw throughput reaches 24%. TDU is using a lot of textures and is quite sensitive to memory bandwidth, which doesn't really evolve.
