Designed
for DirectX9.0, provides you with all the information you need to make informed
hardware assessments. Havok Total real-time physics library from Havok - these
routines are used to accurately model the movements of objects due to forces,
etc. FMOD sound library from Firelight Technologies - these are used for the
various sound effects and routines used in the tests. Graphics adapter analysis
software from Powerstrip of Entech Taiwan -
this is used to correctly determine the speeds of the graphics processing and
video memory chips, plus supply additional hardware information. Higher 3DMark03
scores denote better performance.

3DMark03 is used by both ATi and nVIDIA to show off the latest videocards and we
see why, it illustrates well the performance differences between cores and generations
of videocards. At stock speeds the Asus EN7800GT performs very well, although
it is slower than the MSI NX7800GTX-VT2D256E by a little both when running single videocard
and SLI. Overclocking the card does wonders!
3DMark05
is the latest version of the highly favoured 3DMark graphics benchmarking
series. It is the first benchmark to require DirectX9.0 compliant hardware with
support for Pixel Shader 2.0 or higher!

Was there ever any doubt that the Asus EN7800GT/2DHTV/256M/OSP/A videocard was smoking fast? (well,
we were a bit skeptical...) When running in SLI, the
GeForce 7800GT combo nips at the heals of the much more expensive SLI'ed GeForce
7800GTX videocards!
