Well I was rather hoping for a little more differentiation here, but X3: Reunion shows exactly what the other benchmarks have been telling us. The Asus EN7800GT TOP Silent/2DHTV/256M is a pretty darn good PCI Express videocard. The stock GeForce 7800GT's fall behind its factory overclocked GPU and memory in this test (note the Geforce 7800GTX videocards with 256MB memory squeak out in front of the 7800GT versions). Now, how about a little Antialiasing and Anisotropic Filtering to really stress this Asus Geforce 7800GT?
