COMMENT - "3dmark 2005 is more demanding than the earlier 3dmark 2003 and this is reflected in the almost 50% lower score. However the Sapphire Radeon x1800 GTO is more than a match for 3dmark 2005 and the Sapphire Radeon x1800 GTO outperforms the Sapphire Radeon x1650 Pro by 20% and the Sapphire Radeon x800 GTO by 24%. It appears that the older technology found on the Sapphire Radeon x800 GTO is starting to struggle with the newer 3dmark benchmarks. The Sapphire Radeon x1800 GTO also does very well with the 3dmark 2005 game benchmarks beating the Sapphire Radeon x1650 Pro by between 14% to 25%."
