GENERAL SYSTEM INFORMATION |

| BENCHMARK SETTINGS:- We use three different image quality and resolution settings when we benchmark computer hardware for review. Low quality setting uses a resolution of 1024x768 (unless otherwise stated) and all of the game settings are set to low, this setting will mostly test for processor rather than video performance. Medium quality setting uses a resolution of 1280x1024 (unless otherwise stated) and all of the game settings are set to medium, this setting will test both the processor and video performance. High quality setting uses a resolution of 1600x1200 (unless otherwise stated) and all of the game settings are set to high, this setting is a very demanding test for video rather processor performance! |

COMMENT - "3dmark 2006 has the most demanding game benchmarks with only two benchmarks using SM2.0 and two using SM3.0 which only the SM3.0 equipped MSI NX 6600 GT can use. The Sapphire Radeon x800 GTO runs the SM2.0 tests 20% to 24% faster than the Sapphire Radeon x800. Although the Sapphire Radeon x800 GTO is unable to run the two "high point scoring" SM3.0 tests it's final score is still 27% faster than MSI NX 6600 GT which can run all the tests."

COMMENT - "The Sapphire Radeon x800 GTO shows it's power by beating the MSI NX 6600 GT by 18%. I was very surprised to see the MSI NX 6600 GT beat the Sapphire Radeon x800 when you consider the MSI NX 6600 GT's poor showing so far."
