Far Cry

Cards - Resolution - AA/AF	Min	Max	Ave.
HIS X850XT-PE 1600x1200 No AA/AF	15	158	52.97
ATI X850XT-PE 1600x1200 No AA/AF	13	169	54.78
AX800XT 1600x1200 No AA/AF	13	78	48.99

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.

UT2004

Cards - Resolution - AA/AF	Min	Max	Ave.
HIS X850XT-PE 1600x1200 No AA/AF	33	112	63.24
ATI X850XT-PE 1600x1200 No AA/AF	38	110	62.48

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.

Half-Life 2

Cards - Resolution - AA/AF	Min	Max	Ave.
HIS X850XT-PE 1600x1200 No AA/AF	33	112	63.24
ATI X850XT-PE 1600x1200 No AA/AF	38	110	62.48

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.
