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
In what can only be called an extreme case of processor bottleneck (yes even with an overclocked 3.8Ghz quad) with the HD4870 Crossfire setup. It is amazing to see the score barely move when going from 1280 x 1024 to 1600 x 1200 resolution both with and without AA enabled. Both the mixed and the HD4850 Crossfire setups get extremely similar scores which are very impressive as well and nearly hit the 19,000 mark with 4xAA enabled.
