Some performance results
Of course at Guru3D.com we always think ahead and therefore pulled some numbers for you to compare with. The hardware being used:
Mainboard
Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI motherboard, nForce4 SLI, Socket 939
Processor
AMD Athlon 64 FX-57, Socket 939

The tests are being done at default 3DMark06 settings. That's already heavy enough on the hardware ;)
Since the results can be a tad hard to read in the flash chart above as there are a so many cards in there so below you can find the raw data.
| 3DMark06 |
Score |
SM 2.0 |
SM 3.0 | CPU |
| Radeon x800GTO 256MB | 1405 | 690 | 0 | 1101 |
| GeForce 6600 GT 128MB | 1618 | 645 | 561 | 1100 |
| GeForce 6800 128 MB | 1854 | 720 | 681 | 1106 |
| Radeon X850 XT 256MB | 2136 | 1096 | 0 | 1102 |
| Radeon X1600 XT 256MB | 2264 | 869 | 885 | 1111 |
| GeForce 6800 GT 256MB | 2404 | 982 | 899 | 1102 |
| Radeon X1800 XL 256MB | 3191 | 1290 | 1333 | 1110 |
| Radeon X1800 XT 512MB | 3747 | 1557 | 1637 | 1112 |
| GeForce 7800 GTX 256MB | 4001 | 1740 | 1727 | 1103 |
| GeForce 6800 GT 256MB SLI | 4096 | 1887 | 1696 | 1104 |
| GeForce 7800 GTX 512MB | 4787 | 2176 | 2220 | 1107 |
So now you have something to compare to. Of course with the Radeon x800 GTO and X850 XT you'll notice a "0" score at the Shader model 3 result. These two cards simply do not have support for SM3.
3DMark06 review
Last year when 3DMark 05 was released (February I think) it became the standard for DirectX 9 benchmarking and it was well received by the consumer and industry. In the months following I however honestly felt the benchmark was good but not yet perfect as some very important features where left out. 3DMark06 entails all the new features and we will take a brief look at this exciting new update of the software. I say update because in essence 3Dmark06 is 3Dmark05, with a complete overhaul of features and exciting end-result.
