Game Test Results


In nearly all the game tests the 8800GT lead the 9600GT by a little more than 10%. There was only one instance where the 9600GT blew the 8800GT out of the water, Crysis at 1680x1050. There must have been a driver issue as I could repeatedly achieve 19.17 to 19.64 average frames per second but only at stock clocks. I believe the 9600GT wasn't rendering something as this repeatable anomaly was most odd. For the Devil May Cry 4 benchmark I recorded the value from the second stage of the test which was by far the most strenuous of the four. In Devil May Cry 4 and Company of Heroes the 9600GT was playable at maximum settings up to 1920x1200 without anti-aliasing enabled. Crysis with it's Very High graphical settings looked beautiful and was still playable up to 1680x1050. Dropping down to High quality settings resulted in playable performance up to 1920x1200. I used the maximum graphical settings as they stress the GPUs the most and remove any CPU bottlenecks.
