F.E.A.R. Performance

F.E.A.R. – Direct3D

Notes

The GeForce 8800 cards scale much better under F.E.A.R., even with a slower CPU like the X2 3800+. This bodes well for the GTX under more shader-intensive titles we’re likely to see in 2007 such as Crysis and Unreal Tournament 2007. The GeForce 8800 GTX and Radeon X1950 XTX perform neck-and-neck with each other in this game, we also saw this earlier this month with the Core 2 Extreme CPU.

We should also note that minimum frame rate data for the GeForce 8800 GTX/X2 3800+ combo was 30 fps, this is the same number we got with the GeForce 8800 GTS/FX-62 combo and just 1 fps more than the GeForce 8800 GTS/3800+ system. In comparison, the GeForce 8800 GTX/FX-62 minimum frame rate was 41 fps and the X1950 XTX/FX-62 was 27 fps.
