Again, however, ATi's lead in the Source engine, at least with this early take on it, puts them firmly ahead of NVIDIA at this point in time. The other obvious notable here is that the GeForce 6800 Ultra, at all settings and resolutions, was able to keep things in the "playable" range in both Doom 3 and the CS Source Stress Test, whereas the X800 XT PE fell closely into unplayable ranges in Doom 3.

There's definitely a strong correlation, but we need the full release game, as we have with Doom 3, to make the proper assessments in the metrics. First, this benchmark is just a graphics "stress test" and it wouldn't be completely fair to say that the frame rates we recorded here would scale the same way with a full Half Life 2 game driven benchmark run. However there are a couple of things to remember with the CS Source Stress Test numbers here. It's like the two game engines are at opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to graphics processor architectures. It's amazing to see how polarized the Doom 3 performance results are versus our Counter Strike: Source Stress Test results. The ATi card boasts a 13-14% lead without AA or Aniso on and a whopping 47% lead with 4X AA and 8X AF enabled. There's one word for the lead Radeon X800 XT posts up in these two tests, "ouch".
