Performance The 8800 series from Nvidia is pretty much capable of handling high resolutions with a healthy dose of AA and AF. So we have tested the card at two resolutions: 1680 x 1050 (Native resolution of 20 to 22 inch LCDs) and 1920 x 1200 (Native resolution of a 24-inch LCD). We have played with the AA and AF settings to a level where we can get playable frame rates and that starts at around 40fps.
3D Mark 2006
The scores are almost level. The tests were done at the default resolution of 1280 x 1024. This shows that at comparatively lower resolutions the difference in memory doesn’t really show on performance.

The last couple of weeks, we’ve been testing quite a few graphics cards and there’s one thing for sure - you do get a good amount of performance from graphics cards that are designed to be budget offerings.
