It's at the higher resolutions that a better videocard is required. Here we see the Foxconn pull slightly ahead (at stock) due to the higher memory operating frequency. The MSI NX8800GTS-T2D320E-ON-OC is hot on its heels though.

We start to see a difference between the videocards when using Shader Model 3.0. It's interesting how well the GeForce 7950GX2 performs in this test, but then again it has more memory available to it than the GeForce 8800GTS 320MB videocards.
