Advanced Videocard Benchmarks: FarCry, Doom 3, FEAR

FarCry Source: Ubisoft

Real-time editing, bump mapping, static lights, network system, integrated physics system, shaders, shadows, and a dynamic music system are just some of the state of-the-art features that the CryENGINE offers. The game was set to Ultra quality and the Ubisoft's Regulator and Training demos were run.

MSI NX7900GS-T2D512E-OC (8xS AA, 8x AF) 21.86

With light AA/AF enabled FarCry offers decent framerates. You'll probably want to run this game at slightly lower resolutions though, otherwise framerates get a bit tight.

ID Software Quake 4 1.3

Source: id Software

Quake 4 is the latest shooter from ID and is based on the Doom 3 engine. Tweaked to for more eye candy, Quake 4 promises to be tougher on videocards and systems than its predecessor was. Quake 4 also does not have a 60 fps limiter like Doom 3, with the Ultra setting, graphic textures can surpass the 500MB mark! Each test is run three times and with the third run being recorded.

Quake 4 results are interesting... if you're a gamer you should be pleased with this.

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 with AA/AF enabled is a bit too much for the MSI NX7900GS-T2D512E-OC videocard. Stick with gaming at 1600x1200, the jagged lines aren't too bad at that setting.
