COMMENT - "The Sapphire Radeon HD 2600 XT is unable to beat the XFX GeForce 7900 GT and loses by between 7% to 25%." |
FINAL RESULTCOMMENT - "The Sapphire Radeon HD 2600 XT is a good video card but it was usually beaten by the XFX GeForce 7900 GT. The Sapphire Radeon HD 2600 XT has all of the latest features like GDDR4 Memory, 120 Pixel Shaders but it was still beaten by the XFX GeForce 7900 GT which uses GDDR3 memory and only has 24 Pixel Shaders. The only advantage the XFX GeForce 7900 GT has over the Sapphire Radeon HD 2600 XT is it's 256Bit Memory Interface which is twice that of the 128Bit Memory Interface of the Sapphire Radeon HD 2600 XT. Due to the average performance shown by the Sapphire Radeon HD 2600 XT when compared to the XFX GeForce 7900 GT I can only give it a Score of 7." |
SAPPHIRE RADEON HD 2600 XT SCORES 7/10! |
