Age Of Empires III

Previous Next
9:11 AM - 02/21/2008 by Florian Charpentier

Age of Empires III is not very sensitive to the activation of antialiasing, despite its expensive algorithm. Still, given its age, the game no longer throws any big challenges at current 3D graphics cards, and again showed how close the 9600 GT is to the HD 3870, which was just a hair below it here. Sensitive to shading power but not to memory, this game unsurprisingly put the 8800 GT 256 MB in second position, in front of the 9600 GT, and the HD 3850 in last position in results that run counter to most of the other tests.

Nice Review, was really helpfull chosing between the HD4670 and 9600GT. Cause the HD4670 is a bit slower as the HD3850 due its memory bus of 128-bit.

Wow, it is amazing how much AA & AF deplete your FPS on games such as Crysis and COD 4. I have a Palit 9600GT along with a E8400, and it more or less matches these benchies. Great review once again.

Thanks for the review - helps in putting together medium range systems. Card prices have gone up now ( Feb 2009 ) after they went down during and about "black Friday" time.
I see the lowest priced 9600GT at $90, %65 after rebate, with free Far Cry 2.
Not bad at all.
