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.

Fear is a very videocard intensive application and the performance of the SLI videocards are certainly very interesting. With the Gigabyte GV-3D1-68GT, SLI is beneficial at lower resolutions. Att 1600x1200, SLI actually lowers performance.
