Sapphire Radeon X1950 Pro
Need for Speed Carbon Performance
|
Dating back to the days of floppy disks, EGA, and the Lamborghini Countach, the Need For Speed franchise is undoubtedly one of the most popular in gaming history. The most recent addition to the franchise is Need For Speed Carbon, a racing-sim loaded with muscle cars and exotics in addition to a number of lighting and special graphics effects. We ran these Carbon benchmarks by utilizing FRAPS and tracking framerates on the same track, using the same car with every graphics card. The game was configured with all of its graphics-related options set to their maximum values, with motion blur enabled. We tested the game at resolutions of 1280x960 and 1600x1200. |
Both ATI-powered cards put quite a hurting on the GeForce 7900 GT in NFS: Carbon. The X1950 Pro proves again that money and clock speeds aren't everything - just what we like to see from a mid-range card.
