COMMENT - "3dmark 2003 shows a clear victory for the Sapphire Radeon x800 GTO of 17% over second placed Sapphire Radeon x800. When using the more advanced 3dmark 2005 the Sapphire Radeon x800 GTO is able to increase it's lead over the Sapphire Radeon x800 to 19%. The trend continues with 3dmark 2006 with the Sapphire Radeon x800 GTO increases it's lead over the Sapphire Radeon x800 to 20%. 3dmark 2006 is not really designed for video cards which don't support SM3.0 so I was surprised to see the Sapphire Radeon x800 GTO beat MSI GEFORCE 6600 GT by 27% which unlike the Sapphire Radeon x800 GTO can complete ALL the tests."
