GENERAL SYSTEM INFORMATION
COMMENT - "The Gigabyte Radeon 9000 wins this test simply because it was full DX8.1 features which are important for future gaming performance. It's unusual to see a budget video card with these features, the Gainward GeForce4 MX 440 is missing pixel shaders and although the Xabre by SIS has hardware pixel shaders it only has software vertex shaders. The Gainward GeForce4 MX 440 puts in a good performance when you consider it's missing pixel shaders which means it's unable to run the nature test. The Gainward GeForce4 MX 440 always performs the high polygon count tests very well so I wasn't surprised to see it beat the Gigabyte Radeon 9000."
