Notes

While CATALYST 4.4 has been out for a while, 4.1 was chosen for benchmarking consistency with prior results. The performance difference between 4.1 and 4.4 in our benchmark suite favours 4.1 in most tests, with the average result difference being less than a couple of percentage points either way.

The GeCube goes up against its mid-range brethren, including PowerColor's 9600XT, a 5700 Ultra and a 5900XT from Point of View.
