F.E.A.R. – 7900 GT and 7600 GT
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:
*** 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.
The 7900 GT has a lead without AA but that disappears once the feature is turned on. If NVIDIA’s claims are true then the performance delta with the enhanced driver should tip the scales toward the 7900 GT. The SLI performance is great, increasing the minimum FPS by 50%!
The 7600 GT and 6800 GS are about on par here.
