PerformanceTest 6.1
After proving itself as a useful benchmark over the past few months, PerformanceTest has become a part of my test suite. Unlike 3DMark, PerformanceTest mixes real-world frame per second (FPS) values with an overall score, giving you another scientifically comparable way to examine your computer’s abilities. I ran all of PerformanceTest’s 3D Graphics tests and came back with these results:
Graphics 3D – Simple: 1927.5 FPS
Graphics 3D – Medium: 417.2 FPS
Graphics 3D – Complex: 39.1 FPS
3D Graphics Mark: 762.9
For PerformanceTest, complex graphics means a canyon and sky backdrop with six fighter planes doing Blue Angel-style flight exercises in the middle; a good example of a DirectX 9 performance test. Overall, these results all swing in the 8800 GT XXX’s favor, beating the 8800 GTS Fatal1ty handily in all categories, and generating equivalent or higher scores than the older and more expensive 8800 Ultra ExTreme.
F.E.A.R. Performance Test
The built-in performance test for F.E.A.R. happens to be a great test of a graphic card’s abilities that anyone can repeat, making it an excellent scientific benchmark. I set the resolution to 1280 x 960 x 32 and pushed all of the Performance settings to their maximum before running the test. Here’s what it came back with:
FPS
Minimum: 23
Average: 31
Maximum: 37
FPS Distribution
5% below 25 FPS
95% between 25 and 40 FPS
0% above 40 FPS
A strong showing from the 8800 GT XXX; though five percent of the frames fell below the 25 FPS threshold, the minimum frame rate was still a very acceptable 23 FPS. It’s also interesting to note that the results from the 8800 GT and the 8800 GTS Fatal1ty were almost equal in this test.

3DMark06
3DMark continues to be an excellent way to benchmark a system’s performance so you can compare it to other systems and build the best possible combination of parts. I ran all of 3DMark’s tests with the default settings. The results were:
3DMark Score: 8,590
SM2.0 Score: 3,896
HDR/SM3.0 Score: 4,421
CPU Score: 1,731
Overall, the 8800 GT XXX scored higher than the 8800 GTS Fatal1ty in some areas, and lower in others. Looking through Futuremark’s Online Results Browser, I found that while no one has entered a 3D mark result for this set of drivers for this card, the 8800 GT XXX generated higher 3DMark scores than 74 percent of Futuremark’s database, making it an important part of a high-powered configuration.
