Videocard Benchmarks: FEAR

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.

At lower resolutions with no Soft Shadows enabled in FEAR, the Albatron Geforce 8600GT offers decent framerates. The higher resolutions totally kill the system and framerates drop too low.
