Star Wars: Knights of the old Republic 2 Performance
As an RPG, frame rates are less critical, and all of the setups really do quite well. ATI comes out ahead of the 6800U cards, while the 7800GTX takes the lead by a sizeable margin. It's interesting to note that while the 6800U cards do not benefit from SLI in this game, the 7800GTX does. We see a 23 and 31% increase without AA/AF and with it enabled. The single 7800 also manages a similar performance gap relative to the 6800U. Assuming the 6800U gets SLI support and gains a similar amount, it should roughly match the 7800GTX. For now, though, the single card is clearly the better solution.

From what i'm seeing the 6800U SLI beats the 7800GTX[SLI] in most normal resolutions. I don't know, but usually when a new generation comes out it should at least beat the previous generation. Sure, it works wonders on huge resolutions, but very few people actually have monitors that can display these types of resolutions. Most people don't have monitors above 1200x1000 resolution, much less 1600x1200.Live - Wednesday, June 22, 2005 - link
What’s up with the BF2 graphs? The 6800u SLI scores more at 1600x1200 4xAA (76,3) then it does at the same resolution without AA (68,3). That doesn’t make sense does it?Sorry for the extremely poor spelling…

Good job Nvidia with the launch. Now lets see if ATI can match the performance and availability.ryanv12 - Wednesday, June 22, 2005 - link
From what I see, the 7800GTX is really of benefit to you if you have a monitor that is higher than a 1600x1200 resolution. Fairly impressive though, I must say. I also wasn't expecting double the performance of the 6800's since it only has 50% more pipes. I can't wait to see the 32 piped cards!Live - Wednesday, June 22, 2005 - link
