F.E.A.R.

FEAR (Direct X)


One of the most impressive games of E3 2005 is turning out to be one of the most graphically intense as well.  Even with the 7800 GTX and X1800 XT I didn’t find the game playable at 1600×1200 with all the details turned on:

XFX GeForce 7800 GS XT Edition - An AGP Upgrade - Graphics Cards 80

XFX GeForce 7800 GS XT Edition - An AGP Upgrade - Graphics Cards 81

*** Note: we have disabled Soft Shadows in all the below tests despite what the screen indicates above.  And since we were using the retail game this time, I opted to use the in-game “settings test” fly by to compare performance. 

XFX GeForce 7800 GS XT Edition - An AGP Upgrade - Graphics Cards 82

XFX GeForce 7800 GS XT Edition - An AGP Upgrade - Graphics Cards 83

XFX GeForce 7800 GS XT Edition - An AGP Upgrade - Graphics Cards 84

XFX GeForce 7800 GS XT Edition - An AGP Upgrade - Graphics Cards 85

XFX GeForce 7800 GS XT Edition - An AGP Upgrade - Graphics Cards 86

NVIDIA seems to have the edge in the 0x0x tests while the ATI X850 XT PE gains the lead by a small margin over the XFX card in the 4x8x results.
