32-Bit CPU Gaming 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.

Higher results are better.

FEAR doesn't scale quite as well on the Core i5 750 as Crysis does, since this benchmark is much more sensitive to raw increases in clockspeed.

Scores in FEAR tend to fluctuate a lot (especially when running at several hundred frames per second), which explains why some scores go up and others go down when comparing Windows 7 to Windows Vista.

All the pieces seem to be falling into place, let's take a look at the big picture for Intel's most recent mainstream processor...
