Passmark

This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various types of load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.

Gaming performance

Let's see how good the compared graphics cards are for gaming. Particular gaming benchmark results are measured in FPS.

Pros & cons summary

Performance score	0.22	0.17
Recency	1 October 2004	1 May 2004
Chip lithography	110 nm	130 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	30 Watt	48 Watt

ATI X800 has a 29.4% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 5 months, a 18.2% more advanced lithography process, and 60% lower power consumption.

The Radeon X800 is our recommended choice as it beats the Radeon X800 PRO in performance tests.
