ATI Radeon X1000 Series Preview
Benchmarks - Day of Defeat: Source
 All of the in-game settings were set to High. The "Reflections" drop-down menu was set to "Reflect All." The "HDR" drop-down menu was set to "Full." Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering were controlled via the in-game options. After the timedemo finishes running, it prints out the average frames per second. For each test, the timedemo was run three times and the results were averaged.

It is readily apparent that there is a bottleneck with this benchmark. We see the high-end cards performing about the same through all the tests, though some start to stumble at 2048x1536. The X1600 XT doesn't perform well beyond 1024x768 with 4xAA/8xAF, and the X1300 Pro starts to struggle at this setting. It will be interesting to see how much of an impact swapping out the Athlon 64 3500+ CPU for the much faster Athlon 64 FX-55 has on the performance of these cards in this benchmark.

on October 13, 2005 - 7:27 am it amazes me that with just 16 pipelines they are able to beat the 7800gtx...

on October 13, 2005 - 10:52 pm the x1800xt does have a higher mem and clock speed though. maybe they can just muscle their way through to higher performance?

on October 13, 2005 - 10:54 pm This is a good read: http://www.thetechlounge.com/news.php?id=7669 Looks like ATI put a lot of work into the new chip and have plenty of room to grow. 8 - Posted by
