Asus EAH4850 HTDI/512M/A Radeon HD 4850 Videocard Review
Asus EAH4850 HTDI/512M/A Radeon HD 4850 Videocard Review - PCSTATS
Its a good time to be on the market for a new video card. After floundering in second place behind nVidia for the past few years, ATI's Radeon 48xx-series videocards promise to boost AMDs marketshare back up to a healthy margins by delivering fast framerates for a very competitive price.

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.

FEAR is good a taking names and dishing out punishment! The Asus EN9600GT Top/HTDI/512M maintains a respectable 61FPS at full resolution with soft shadows enabled. The two other Geforce 9600GT videocards come with 56/57FPS.

This gaming engine doesn't take as much advantage of the Asus EAH4850's shader capabilities. We do see the raw power of multiple GPUs as we turn on soft shadows and crank up the resolution.
