Looks like the default driver we're using (Forceware 71.22) was causing a slowdown in this game, a bug related to how the game render shadows. So, we scale back to an older driver (Forceware 66.81), just for this game. The score should represent what the game should run like sans bug3 This does not invalidates the test, since the same drivers are used with every card and these cards render using the same settings and path. As you can see, you can basically use each card and still have fluid frame rates with AA and AF up to 1280 x 1024, 32 bit. Higher resolutions are not recommended, even for the GTs, with minimum frame rates dropping below 30 fps.

We close the tests with with Nascar. Here, we're seeing relatively the same level of performance on all resolution except 1600 x 1200, 32 bit with AA and AF enabled. Being slower than the other cards, MSI NX6600 VTD128R is just barely holding on the 30 fps mark, around 16 to 25 % slower there. None of these cards can reach an average 60 fps with this game.
