Looks like this game still has some performance issues with the GeForce 8 series of cards, particularly at 1024 x 768 without AA and AF. We should be seeing higher frame rates on the Leadtek card, but we didn't. OK, let's chalk this up as normal variations between runs, since the difference is not really noticeable anyway in real world situations. Moving on, the additional core and shader clock on the Leadtek PX8600GTS TDH Extreme pays dividends at 1600 x 1200 without AA and AF. It offer about 10 percent higher minimum frame rates and around 13 percent average frame rates. If we enable AA and AF, frame rates does take a hit and you're basically limited to 1280 x 1024 if you want fluid frame rates. Just like before, in this setting the Leadtek card is no different than standard clocked GeForce 8600GGTS.
