Testing
3Dmark01
The x700 Pro scores an amazing 20434. This performance is expected from a much higher end card and yet we see it on this mid range card! However, 3Dmark01 is an older program and is CPU and RAM dependent. So we will see how this card does when faced with the more modern 3Dmark 03 and 05.

3Dmark03
Unlike the previous benchmark this card does not compare in any way to the more expensive, high end cards (10k and above). However it performs adequately for a card in this price range.

3Dmark05
Again this score does not really have any bearing on the higher end cards but this is expected as this test is very GPU dependant, and high scores are only achieved with much more expensive hardware.

The first stress test I ran was with everything on high settings, at 1024x768 but with no Anti Aliasing (This gives a smooth edge). The second test was conducted with 2X AA, and the thirds was with maximum settings and AA set at 6X.
| Frames per second | |
| No AA | 103.4 |
| 2x AA | 84.6 |
| 6x AA | 76.6 |
As we can see, the AA really did have a big impact on the performance, with six times AA causing nearly a 20% decrease in performance!
To give you an idea of what AA does you can clearly see the difference below.
