Benchmark Results Many reviews have shown 8800GTX beating up the X1950XTX in themajority of games, but there are a few that still favor the older ATI card. Let's see what effect chipset selection.4 p0 `! K, d J7 F& N

Starting off with one game test, the X1950XTX can win, while the 680i SLI leads both Intel and ATI chipsets using the competitor's card. So much for ATI chipset to VPU optimizations. ; {. Q! s$ C! q/ r& D( l; i% |% L; p8 O5 f9 H; j5 u0 ?

Once again Intel's chipset gives Nvidia's graphics cardmore performance than Nvidia's chipset. Perhaps the credit shouldinstead go to MSI, the maker of this P965 Express motherboard.
