Gaming Performance
Higher Scores Are Better



 

While the FireGL V8650 card can hold its own in a workstation environment, it’s clearly outclassed in modern gaming engines.   We see nearly a 2,000 point advantage in the default 3DMark06 test between the QFX 5600 and FGL V8650.  Crysis goes from ~30FPS to ~40 FPS between these two cards.   Both are certainly powerful enough to run most modern games without any issue, although if you’re a game developer, the gaming performance advantage with the QuadroFX 5600 might be an important aspect to consider.
