At higher resolutions X3: Reunion is very hard on all graphics cards. The Gigabyte GV-NX76T256D-RH handles the load better than the Geforce 6600GT's do, but not really to playable framerate levels. If we drop the resolution down to 1024x768, the Gigabyte GV-NX76T256D-RH offers up some good, playable framerates.
