ATI RADEON 9800 XT MSI GEFORCE 7300 GT CRUCIAL RADEON X1300 PRO

COMMENT - "The ATI Radeon 9800 XT puts in a good performance for such an old video card but finishes 31% slower than the MSI GEFORCE 7300 GT and 21% slower than the Crucial Radeon x1300 Pro. The main reason for the slower 3dmark 2006 performance is because the ATI Radeon 9800 XT doesn't support Shadermark 3."
