[QUOTE="Tech Geek, post: 36598, member: 18181"] BTW... I did some benchmarking with 3D Mark 03. My old Radeon 9600se got around 1700 3D marks on my old Athlon 1300. My Sempron 2400+ bumped it to around 1760. Both socet A, AGP 8x My integrated ATi 200 graphics gets 1700 on a 3500+ and some tweaking. Socket 939 My X1300 on a Sempron 2600+ socket 754, not properly timed RAM (slower) no overclock or anything... over 3500. And I only observed some jerks in the motion a couple places. I haven't benchmarked with 05 yet but the demo ran pretty well. 06 is a CPU hog for sure and higher res so a section carried over from 05 to 06 ran significantly slower. I think it got around 800 3D marks on 06. I think 06 is too dependant on the CPU to be accurate unless comparing different cards in the same system. What's important about this is that the bottom of the line X1300 is faster than the top of the time a few years ago and it delivers better image quality, better video playback... better everything! Once ATi can go to a smaller die process maybe they can ramp up the passively cooled chip speeds to X1300 PRO levels. But that might be a while. [/QUOTE]
