For the Splinter Cell - Chaos Theory benchmark we test at resolutions of 1280x1024, 1600x1200 1920x1200 and 2560x1600. The benchmark uses the Ubisoft LightHouse demo and has HDR and anisotropic filtering at 16x enabled.

We again see a direct performance-GPU frequency relationship in this test. It is a general trend we have been seeing and is most obvious with the GeForce 8600 GTS cards. Since the 8600 GT cards have the same operating frequency their performance is aligned with each other. The 8500 GT once again receives the lowest score. It is only expected since it has the most modest technical specifications of the bunch.
