Again, no surprises here as both X850XT-PE cards scale the same during gameplay. Despite the minor differences in average framerates between the three, the X800XT is noticeably choppier during the more intense battles on the map.

Both cards didn't have much of a problem with UT2004, which is expected as they are the same cards in regards to architecture. The framerates were really all over the map depending on how much action was going on, but the game was hardly anything what I would deem unplayable.

It's sounding like a broken record, we know, but I suppose the good thing we can see coming out of our results is HIS did not handicap the X850XT-PE in any way. Performance, as well as the gameplay experience was identical with both cards.
