XFX GeForce 7800 GT Video Card Review

Single Card Benchmarking

3DMark 2005 v1.2.0

3DMark05 is best suited for the latest generation of DirectX 9.0 graphics cards. It is the first benchmark to require a DirectX9.0 compliant hardware with support for Pixel Shaders 2.0 or higher! By combining high quality 3D tests, CPU tests, feature tests, image quality tools, and much more, 3DMark05 is a premium benchmark for evaluating the latest generation of gaming hardware.

I decided not only to record the overall score achieved using 3DMark05, but also the individual gaming test which provide a FPS measurement.

3DMark03 Build 360

3DMark03 is a collection of four 3D game based tests. Each 3DMark03 game test is a real-time rendering of a 3D scenario. It is important to note that these renderings are not merely animations or a set of recorded events; they are designed to function like 3D games work. As with 3D games, all computations are performed in real time. This is a critical part of FutureMarks philosophy of 3D graphics benchmarking.

As with 3DMark05, I chose to record the individual gaming scores with 3DMark03 to get a more in depth assesment of the 7800GT.
