Here we see a different story. With forced anisotropic filtering, the Radeon X800XL is barely reaching the performance of GeForce 6800GT running under High Quality and Quality settings. On higher resolutions, the X800XL performance is at par with the GeForce 6800GT in High Quality. However,it is interesting to note that the Radeon X800XL continues to have the faster minimum fps on all resolutions and still manages a 38 fps minimum with AF on 1600 x 1200.

Just like in Call of Duty, we see the GeForce 6800GT experience some performance penalty under High Quality compared to Quality. The difference grew larger when AF is enabled (through the drivers). Compared to the GeForce 6800GT, the Radeon X800XL lost very little performance - even if you compared it with NVIDIA's Quality settings.
