Benchmarks Continued

Code Creatures by CodeCult

This notoriously graphic intensive benchmark brings even top end video cards to their knees. The Tachyon performs quite a bit better than the 2 other nVidia based cards.

ShaderMark v1.7

ShaderMark tests DX9 and 2.0 Pixel Shaders. Let's see the outcome between the 2 cards.

The clear winner here is the G9600Pro. We can easily see that the G9600Pro is geared much better for next generation applications and software than the FX5600.
