Serious Sam II is another new game that is still very texture dependent, so naturally the GeForce 7 is faster here. The Radeon X1900 XTX can only match it with AA and AF enabled at 1280 x 960 and higher. Even then, the GeForce 7800GTX is still slightly faster, though it's certainly nothing to write home about. The good news for the Radeon X1900 XTX is that both 6x AA and HQ AF have very minimal penalty in this game. So, with the Radeon X1900 XTX, you can get higher quality visuals with about the same level of performance. You better stick to at most 1280 x 960, though, since any higher will be too jerky or slow on both the Radeon X1900 XTX or the GeForce 7800GTX.
