Test Setup

All the benchmarks were conducted on a system based on an Intel D975XBX 'Bad Axe' motherboard with an Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 (2.66GHz) processor. 2GB of Kingston low latency DDR2-800 HyperX memory modules were configured to run in dual channel mode. The operating system used was Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2. DirectX 9.0c was also installed on the Seagate 7200.7 SATA hard drive used for this system.

For the comparison, we had the XFX pitted against the overclocked Foxconn GeForce 8600 GT, which despite the overclock still had a slower core and memory of 560/1620MHz. We also included the reference GeForce 8600 GT and GTS cards. Both the XFX and Foxconn were on ForceWare 158.22 drivers while the two NVIDIA reference cards were on ForceWare 158.16. The benchmarks tested are as follows:

  • Futuremark 3DMark05 (ver. 120)
  • Futuremark 3DMark06 (ver. 102)
  • Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (ver 1.3)
  • F.E.A.R
  • Company of Heroes (ver 1.3)
  • Quake 4 (ver 1.2)
