BENCHMARK SETTINGS:- We use two different image quality and resolution settings when we benchmark computer hardware for review. 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 uses all of the latest 3D technology such as Shader Model 3.0 and HDR. Sapphire Radeon x1800 GTO performs well beating Sapphire Radeon x1650 Pro by 21% and the Sapphire Radeon x800 GTO by 45%. Due to the older technology found on the Sapphire Radeon x800 GTO it doesn't support SM3.0."
