NVIDIA outdistanced AMD in the mastery of directX 10 video cards even in budget segment. First, NVIDIA announced the video card GeForce 8400 GS and GeForce 8300 GS during April. Then, this week those video card began to appear in retail. But here , AMD Just begin the deliveries of chip radeon HD 2600 and Radeon HD 2400 to its partners, and in sale video card will appear only during July.
Associates propose to compare the speed level Of radeon HD 2400 XT and GeForce 8400 GS. Unfortunately, until now there is only the results with 3DMark'06 benchmarks , In addition the GeForce 8400 GS result where obtained from NVIDIA. Furthermore, all benchmarks used high performance processors, which in real life rarely will find place with budget video cards. In any case here is the obtained result :
- Radeon HD 2400 XT (independent test) - > 1827 points 3DMark'06;
- Radeon HD 2400 XT (NVIDIA version ) - > 1262 points 3DMark'06;
- GeForce 8400 GS (NVIDIA version ) - > 1600 points 3DMark'06.
Certainly, 3DMark'06 comparison in this stage do not give the complete picture . The Radeon HD 2400 XT can prove to be faster than GeForce 8400 GS.....
