Benchmarks: FEAR

FEAR

Source: Sierra

FEAR is Sierra's latest first person shooter which relies heavily on DirectX 9 features. With its "Soft Shadows" feature enabled, even the fastest videocards run at a crawl, FEAR is definitely the new benchmark for future FPS games to follow.

Soft Shadows pretty much kills performance for everything even high end videocards. At 1024x768 without soft shadows, the Gigabyte GV-NX66T256DE actually performs quite well.
