Splinter Cell @ 1024
New to our test bench is UbiSoft's 3rd person action game, Splinter Cell. We used the , and ran the cards through the gamut.
Splinter Cell @ 1280x1024
At 1024 and 1280, the 9800 Pro wins decisively when AA/AF is turned off. It gets a lot closer once we turn those features on though, but the 9800 Pro hangs on to its lead.
Splinter Cell @ 1600x1200
We noticed a stange anomaly where our framerates were higher at 4xAA/8xAF than they were at 2xAA/8xAF, so we left those out. This was the case for both cards. Here we can see the 9800 Pro hold its lead.

Video cards aren't just for fun and games, and I'm sure some developers and multimedia authors are curious about how it would do in a professional OpenGL environment.
Scores were a little back and forth here. Other than the "drv" portion of the benchmark, the 9800 Pro indicates it is the stronger workstation card btween the two.
