N-Mode: Metro 2033 and Power
Metro 2033
Hey, look! Scaling! And pretty good at that. All of the lower end cards saw a pretty hefty increase. The GTX 480 did not scale so well here, which is somewhat odd. At 2560×1600, the GTX 460 768 MB just did not want to run. Neither did the 1GB version in single card mode. Still, this is a big win for Hydra, as compared to most of the other titles.
Power
Results here are as expected. Those GTX 480s in Hydra mode sure do like the juice.
As in for up-to-date
As in for up-to-date applications, I am looking for a reliable reader of exe files for some of my gadgets: zune, smart phone. I don`t know for sure how these things work, but as long as we`re talking about serious evolution here, futuristic design, I believe that there is a direct proportional development of easiness to handle technology and revolutionary shapes which I happen to admire a lot.
