Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory is one of the most stressful games on the market but remember when viewing these benchmark numbers, the XGI Volari 8300 is not intended to be a gaming videocard. Rather it is for 2D applications and high quality video output.
Real-time editing, bump mapping, static lights, network
system, integrated physics system, shaders, shadows, and a dynamic music system
are just some of the state of-the-art features that the CryENGINE offers. The
game was set to Ultra quality and the Ubisoft's Regulator and Training demos
were run.
