EVGA 9800 GTX+ 512MB Video Card Review

3DMark 06


While some may wonder at the use of still including 3DMark06 in the tests it gives us a good idea of the basic limitations of a graphics card. Since the standard test runs at 1280x1024 there will be a fair amount of CPU bottlenecking with higher-end cards and remember that in many cases a higher 3DMark score does not equate better performance. Here we have also included tests with AA and AF enabled




Much like we have seen in the past with Nvidia cards, the 9800 GTX+ performs extremely well when there is no AA turned on but then the gap with the competition narrows a bit when the image quality settings are pushed. All in all this is to be expected due to ATI’s superior AA implementation with their new cores but remember, this is just a synthetic test and doesn’t usually mean much when it comes to actual gameplay.
