In this system limited benchmark, we're seeing the Radeon X800XL is faster by at least 10% overall. It's not until we hit 1600 x 1200 that the benchmark becomes graphics limited (with AA and AF enabled). In 1600 x 1200, we see the GeForce 6800GT under Quality outpaced the Radeon X800XL . So, while overall the Radeon X800XL is the faster card here, it's slightly bested by the GeForce 6800GT in 1600 x 1200 with AA and AF (or so it seems).

	GeForce 6800GT				Radeon X800XL
	Quality		High Quality		Default
	Default	4x AA 16x AF	Default	4x AA 16x AF	Default	4x AA 16x AF
<30 fps	0	0	0	0	0	0
30-45 fps	0	0	0	16	0	0
45-60 fps	19	23	19	45	0	25
60-90 fps	59	95	59	57	45	93
90-120 fps	41	0	40	0	73	0

We use 1600 x 1200 for the two graphs, the game being graphics limited on 1600 x 1200 or higher. Overall, we see the two cards acting very similar - with AA and AF, there's quite a significant performance hit. The Radeon X800XL has a slight edge, since it's more efficient with AA and AF compared to the GeForce 6800GT. It spent less time in the 45-60 fps range than the GeForce 6800GT under High Quality settings).
