ATI Radeon 9600 Pro AGP Video Card Review

Benchmarks:

NovaLogic; Comanche 4:

The Comanche 4 benchmark demo is a unique benchmark as it represents a real-world gaming experience. It contains the single player Eagle’s Talon mission from the game as well as a detailed cinematic. This DirectX 8.1 benchmark demo measures your system’s performance in the standard frames per second format. On this benchmark, we tested our cards at 1024×768 x 32-bit and the audio turned off.

The next graph shows our results using 4x AA to put even more strain on the cards.

CodeCult; Code Creatures Pro:

The Codecreatures benchmark is written with Microsoft’s DirectX 8.1 API and incorporates the use of Vertex and Pixel Shaders popular on next generation 3D accelerators. The benchmark plays a photo-realistic nature scene and calculates the performance of the graphics adapter by measuring the FPS that it can display at 1024×768, 1280×1024 and 1600×1200 resolutions.

The next graph shows our results using 4x AA to put even more strain on the cards.

FutureMark; 3dmark2001 SE, Build 330 & 3dmark2003, Build 330:

3DMark2003 build 330 is the latest installment in the 3DMark series by FutureMark. It demonstrates 3D gaming performance by using real-world gaming technology to test a system’s true performance abilities. We will not show any AA testing or different resolution testing as we feel that the validity of this benchmark is questionable.
