We've switched over to AMD's Phenom quad-core processor for our video card benchmarks and also exchanged out a few games. Here's our current test system.

Our test system was Windows XP Professional SP2 with 8.1 revision of ATI's Catalyst drivers and 169.21 for Nvidia's.

Let's start things off with Crysis, the most advanced game engine on the market currently.

The 8800 GTS 512MB comes in on top of everything else easily in Crysis' benchmark. The other cards are all surprisingly similar.

World in Conflict seems less driven by the GPU and doesn't show a lot of room to go up as far as the GPU is concerned but it does hit 38 frames per second or three more than AMD's 3870.
