OpenGL games have long been a bane for ATI graphics cards and this continues to plague the newest Radeons. All the ATI cards were struggling in the Chronicles of Riddick benchmark, leaving both versions of the GeForce 7800 GTX with the top positions. The Sapphire Radeon X1900 XTX 512MB was the fastest ATI card here by around 7 – 8% for most of the resolutions, topping out at 12%. The real world difference however was only between 2 – 5 frames. While this difference in the distant past might have meant a lot, these days, this is too little to warrant the US$100 premium that the Radeon X1900 XTX commands over its XT brother.
