Continuing with the new cards we will do as usual a straight out comparison against last month’s 6.11 drivers. We don’t want to ramble and we know you don’t really want to read, so let’s look at the graphs.

3DMark05 is now the second latest version in the popular 3DMark “Gamers Benchmark” series. It includes a complete set of DX9 benchmarks which tests Shader Model 2.0 and above.
For more information on the 3DMark05 benchmark, we recommend you read our preview here.
