This
is different for the X300, as it doesn’t support those versions.
It only supports version 2_0
In
the next set of benchmarks I’ll be comparing the Geforce
6600 to another PCI-Express card the ATI X300 made by Dell
in this case. It’s an entry level OEM card, sold separately
for 80 Euros or included in the Dell machine. Targeted at
the low-end market, the core is a RV370, based on the R350
core, which makes up the Radeon 9600. The main difference
is that this card is PCI-Express and the memory bus interface
is cut in half.
The specifications of this card are:
- 64
MB DDR Memory, running at 400 MHz
- 4
Full precision pipelines
- 2
Geometry pipelines
- 64-bit
memory interface
- X300
VPU, running at 325 MHz
- 0.11
micron process technology

*The Geforce 5950 test results were taken
on a AMD Athlon 3000+ system, normally clocked with 66.81
Non-WHQL drivers.
The
score is lower then I had expected, my own Geforce 5950
scores higher.

is Futuremark’s latest benchmark.
