F.E.A.R.
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

F.E.A.R. is a heavy game and we used its internal benchmarking module. We upgraded it to version 1.08 and since we are comparing high-end cards, we ran this program in higher resolutions, as performance difference between high-end video cards is more expressive on such resolutions. We chose three resolutions, 1600x1200, 1920x1440 and 2048x1536. We set ”computer settings“ to ”maximum“ and then ran each resolution in two scenarios, first with ”graphics card“ set at ”low“ and then with this item set at ”maximum“. Let’s take a look at the results, given in frames per second. All video cards listed below were running with the default clock rates defined by the chip manufacturer, except MSI GeForce 8800 GTS ”OC“, which is the reviewed model with its default overclocked settings.
