The Performance
Let's get down to the tests. Because there are no games on the market yet that can make use of DirectX9 capabilities, we're left focusing on DirectX8/ 8.1 games.
We put together an extensive repertoire of benchmarks and games in order to make a comparison between the FX 5800, the GeForce4 Ti4800 and the ATI Radeon 9700 PRO. In addition to the simple standard tests, we've also tested the performance in anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering, as well as a combination of the two.
Our test platform consisted of an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe motherboard (nForce2) and an Athlon XP 2700+ with 512 MB RAM under Windows XP.
