Sierra FEAR 1.08	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.

FEAR is very hard on the Biostar Sigma-Gate GeForce 7600GS no matter how you look at it, but at 1024x768 the performance is decent. If that's not good enough for you, boost the framerate by 50% by overclocking this little videocard. ;-)
