Give us some feedback

 Sapphire RADEON X1950 Pro 512 MB AGP
The Proof is in the Frame Buffer
Sample supplied by Sapphire
(Review by MS, Jan 1, 2007)

Futuremark 3DMark

Corresponding benchmark results of both benchmarks for the PCIe version of the 1950 Pro are found here.

3DMark'05

The PCIe version scores at 9681 about 800 points higher here. However, in SMP systems, 3DMark'05 scores ramp up with repetitive runs, not only the CPU scores but also the Canyon flight and Return to Proxicon see some boost because of caching. In a single CPU scenario, this does not happen, the scores remain fairly constant throughout and that is essentially the delta we see here between the cards.

3DMark'06

Despite a nominally much weaker system and consequently a lower CPU score, the AGP card delivers a marginally higher score when compared to the 256 MB PCIe version clocked at the same frequencies.
