3DMark06

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 some cases a higher 3DMark score does not equate better performance.




Overall, it looks like the BFG 9800GTX is able to perform marginally better than the 880GTS 512MB card due to its higher clock speeds. It should be interesting to see how this translates into real-world performance.
