COMMENT - "The Sapphire Radeon x700 Pro starts off well with 3dmark 2001 SE and it beats the MSI GEFORCE 6600 GT by 4%. 3dmark 2003 favours the MSI GEFORCE 6600 GT which beats the Sapphire Radeon x700 Pro by 9%. 3dmark 2005 is a good victory for the Sapphire Radeon x700 Pro and it beats the MSI GEFORCE 6600 GT by 8%. 3dmark 2006 uses a combination of SM2.0 and SM3.0 benchmarks and although the Sapphire Radeon x700 Pro can only run the SM2.0 benchmark the MSI GEFORCE 6600 GT is only 11% ahead. We investigated the result and found that the Sapphire Radeon x700 Pro was actually 16% faster than the MSI GEFORCE 6600 GT with the SM2.0 benchmarks. If the Sapphire Radeon x700 Pro had Shadermark 3.0 support then then it would outperform the MSI GEFORCE 6600 GT."
