ATI Radeon X800 XT (R420): Extreme force

R420 vs NV40: first glance

GeForce 6800Ultra (NV40) was there on our test configuration for merely a few hours, and it is impossible to run a thorough testing for the short period, but anyway we were able to take readings and acquire first impressions.

This of course does not abolish the sacred duty of complete tests, but for now - just a first glance. Needless to say, the ForceWare 60.72 behaved so freakish, so some tests (e.g. GunMetal and UT2003) simply wouldn't start. Yesterday, the fixed ForceWare 61.11 was released, and it's better if we ran new and more comprehensive tests.

These are just dry figures, and for now - no comments.
