XFX GeForce 7600 GT 256MB PCI-E XXX Edition
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
 Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory is a little different than the rest of our benchmarks. The game supports SM 1.1, SM2.0 and SM 3.0. With SM 2.0 and 3.0 you have the choice to enable some new visual effects, perhaps most notably, HDR (High Dynamic Range) lighting. Of course, turning these effects on will greatly impact your performance. Whereas in the past we had to alternate between using SM 2.0 and SM 3.0 for the ATI and NVIDIA cards respectively, we can now run SM3.0 with both companies' cards. As you will see below, we have tested each of the cards with and without all of the extra features available with SM3.0. I will refer to SM 3.0 with the extras turned on as SM 3.0+. The timedemo we used was the one included with the game, and we used a batch file to run the timedemo three times at each setting. Patch 1.05 was used.

on May 23, 2006 - 8:42 am The XFX 7600 GT XXX Edition is what I just put in a new PC and every game I try runs great with this card. Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, Need for Speed Most Wanted, Call of Duty 2, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas all run excellently with it. Mine didn't come with Ghost Recon but it's still a great value. 2 - Posted by

on October 16, 2006 - 5:25 am HI THERE, I JUST PURCHASED THE BEAUTIFULL GPU AND WORKS PRETY WELL.I OVERCLOCKED HER WITH THE BUNDLE SOFTWARE AT 634 Mhz (CLOCK) AND 815 Mhz (MEMORY) AND IT WORKS PREETY WELL (5 HOURS PLAYING ROME-TOTAL WAR), BUT DOESN'T GO ANY MORE. IF YOU HAVE ANY BETTER RESULTS PLEASE DROP ME A MAIL WITH HOW YOU DID IT. WITH THIS TUNNING I MANAGED TO ADD AN AVERAGE OF 1,5 FPS IN EACH GRAPHIC TEST OF 3DMARK06. ANY FURTHER INFO WOULD BE VALUABLE FOR ME. THATS ALL
