Asus EN9600GT Top/HTDI/512M Geforce 9600GT Videocard Review - PCSTATS

Advanced 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.

In FEAR, turning AA to 16xQ brings the Asus EN9600GT Top/HTDI/512M down to 52FPS. Moderate levels of AA allow for a decent picture and more playable framerates.
