The HIS X850XT finishes slightly ahead of the ATI card by a slight margin, and is a bit smoother than the X800XT during gameplay. Both X850XTs and the X850XT-PE provided the best gameplay experience in terms of performance, maintaining decent framerates in the more intense battles on the Rebellion map.

All the cards were playable in UT2004 DM-Compressed. The X850XT-PE led the pack, followed by the 6800GT and the X850XT cards. The AGP HIS X850XT provided the same experience as all the other cards, but it was slightly behind its PCIe counterpart in the average framerates.

The HIS X850XT finishes ahead of both the X800XT and 6800GT, but finishes behind the other two cards. Actual gameplay was good though, and the HIS card had no problems handling the game at 1600x1200.
