Contrary to our expectations, the ASUS EN8600GT Silent turned out to be slower than our reference card. The performance gap varied between resolutions and settings but for 3DMark05, this ranged from 3% to 18%, with the greatest difference when anti-aliasing was enabled. With identical core, memory and even shader clocks, it's hard to tell what was the real problem behind this uncharacteristic showing from the ASUS. This gap was a more acceptable 3 to 4% in 3DMark06 but still falling behind the reference card, not to mention the other overclocked cards in our lineup.
