And last, NFS: Carbon. The unified shader architecture of the GeForce 8 series and higher core / shader clock on the GeForce 8600GTS allow it to offer higher frame rates than both the GeForce 8600GT and GeForce 7950GT. However, it's still no match for the Radeon X1950 Pro, which don't lose much performance with AA and AF at 1024 x 768. This illustrates one point - a mainstream / low end DirectX 10 is likely slower than a mid end DirectX 9 card - another trend we also see through the course of testing for this article.
