COMMENT - "The Sapphire Radeon x1950 Pro outperforms the Connect3D Radeon x1950 Pro by 6%, the Sapphire Radeon x1800 GTO by 40% and the Sapphire Radeon x800 GTO by 67%."
COMMENT - "3dmark 2006 is the very latest and more demanding 3dmark program available and will really stress the four video cards to breaking point. The reason the Sapphire Radeon x800 GTO has N/A for Shader Model 3.0 is because it doesn't have Shader Model 3.0."

COMMENT - "The Sapphire Radeon x1950 Pro outperforms the Connect3D Radeon x1950 Pro by 7%, the Sapphire Radeon x1800 GTO by 48% and the Sapphire Radeon x800 GTO by 84%."
COMMENT - "These 3dmark 2006 game benchmarks are very demanding and require high performance which only the Radeon x1950 Pro video cards can supply. Although the Sapphire Radeon x1800 GTO can run ALL of the game benchmarks their performance is much lower than for the Radeon x1950 Pro video cards. The reason the Sapphire Radeon x800 GTO has N/A for Canyon Flight and Deep Freeze is because it doesn't support SM3.0."
