NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX SLI Performance Review

FEAR

FEAR (Direct X)

One of the most impressive games of E3 2005 turned out to be one of the most graphically intense as well. 

*** 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. 

FEAR is another game where performance at higher resolutions could use a lift and the pair of 8800 GTX cards in SLI do just that.  Looking at performance in the 2560×1600 resolution, there is no competition as the SLI setup sees a 92% average FPS performance increase as well as an 88% minimum FPS increase.  Again for the first time I can say that FEAR at image quality settings this high is a breeze.
