While the graphs look like there is a big difference, there isn't. The difference in 3DMark2001 is 616 points, or about 1.6%. Nothing that would be noticed. In 3DMark03 the margin is even smaller, 16 points, or less then 0.5%.

Gaming Benchmarks

All gaming benchmarks are run at the lowest setting to take out as much of the VC performance as possible. These results should not be used in comparison to the benchmarks on our video card reviews as they're not run at even similar settings.

Unreal Tournament 2003 is the sequel to 1999's multiple 'Game of the Year' award winner. It uses the very lastest Unreal Technology - where graphics, sound and gameplay are taken beyond the bleeding edge. A fast paced shootem up FPS game where the last person you want to run into has =GvL= in front of their name. DX8

As we have seen in the other gaming benchmarks, the IC7-G again holds a very slight advantage over the 875P. At about 2%, the difference in performance falls within the margin of error and is definitely something that you will not be able to notice.

As you can see, the IC7-G has a slight, (less then 3fps on average) lead over the 875P, which at the rates we are talking about here is not something your average human being can even notice.

A sci-fi shooter that takes place on a mysterious alien ring-world, Halo: Combat Evolved will have you battling through amazing indoor and outdoor environments, in vehicles, and on foot with the largest arsenal of futuristic weapons, vehicles, and combat roles of any shooter ever. The PC adaptation is based on the game's original concept, where your objective is to uncover Halo's horrible secret, and destroy mankind's nemesis - the Covenant. DX9

Halo is the one test that shows a significant difference between the 875P and IC7-G, almost 8 frames per second, or about 15%. So, if Halo is your game, the IC7-G is the board for you, but let's face it, if you are playing only Halo get an Xbox.
