Battlefield 2142




Similar results in Oblivion, but with a slight twist. With low eye candy, the more expensive 7950GT KO holds a solid advantage. However when we raised the details, full AA and AF, and increased the textures, the X1950PRO shines and comes through to catch the 7950GT KO in performance. The difference is nearly negligible at these resolutions with full details on.

On to some 3DMark05 and 06 comparisons where the two cards are close in 05, the 7950GT pulls away in 06. The main points to note here are the facts that 3DMark06 makes heavy use of Shader Mark 3.0 which the 7950GT seems to perform a bit better at. Plus the fact that the X1950PRO does almost 5000 shader operations per second less (13200 vs 18000). This seemingly gives the 7950GT a boost in 3DMark06.
