The Ultimate GPU Benchmark (2001 - 2005)

Published: (last update )


Follow-up on the previous part - this time with DX8 and DX9 hardware. If you are instered in this era of GPUs, you are in the right place. Radeon 9700 Pro, GeForce FX 5800 Ultra and many others, everything thoroughly tested.

Bonus Round - Utilization of Theoretical Performance


These charts are calculated as the average performance / theoretical fillrate and memory bandwidth. These numbers are relative and dimensionless, can be compared only within the one chart.

The higher the value is, the more constrained the graphic card is by the specified parameter. Or in another words the more effective in using this resource. Obviously, the final performance is affected by many aspects simultaneously, so pointing just one is not exactly accurate. Take this with grain of salt.
