Splinter Cell


The Tachyon G9600Pro utterly destroys the GF FX5600 256MB card in Splinter Cell by UBI Soft. No level of FSAA was run for the demo.
SPECviewperf 7.0
SPEC ViewPerf is an OpenGL benchmark program that measures your card in a professional workstation environment using several different viewsets. Looking for a more detailed explanation? Here is a quote from the programmers.
"SPECviewperf™ is a portable OpenGL performance benchmark program written in C. It was developed by IBM. Later updates and significant contributions were made by SGI, Digital (Compaq, HP), 3Dlabs (Creative Labs) and other SPECopcSM project group members. SPECviewperf provides a vast amount of flexibility in benchmarking OpenGL performance. Currently, the program runs on most implementations of UNIX, Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Linux."


For kicks, we decided to include some benches from the ATi Radeon 9700Pro as well as the GF FX 5900 Ultra. The Tachyon G9600Pro did surprisingly well and even surpassed performance of the other cards in this graphically intensive OpenGL workstation benchmark. The 9600's direct competitor, the FX5600 wasn't up to the task. The Tachyon continues to impress.
