We first noticed some abrupt separation between the high end cards and the lower end. Looking closely, we can see that there is a little mingling of the 9800XT cards with the 5950 Ultra cards, but the overclocked NVIDIA cards clearly hold the fastest frame rates.
In the lower end, the HIS 9600XT takes down all the other 9600s and 5700 Ultra cards.
Nice article. A passively cooled 9600XT?!...I've found my next video card. There is one thing that I am unclear about - the Seagate hard drive used in the test setup - is it an SATA drive?
