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
It seems like the Palit HD4870 X2 packs a pretty good punch in 3DMark06 but for some reason it peters out when AA is turned on. This is a bit odd to us when compared to the Crossfire HD4870 solution especially at high resolution with AA but it seems like this benchmark just can’t make the best out of the 2GB memory this card has. Perhaps this wil be fixed in an upcoming driver revision.
