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 video cards run at a crawl, FEAR is definitely the new benchmark for future FPS games to follow.

FEAR actually gets playable frame rates on the ASUS EN9400GT videocard! Sure it can only manage it at 1024x768 resolution, and it's got the lowest score out of every videocard that PCSTATS has tested so far, but it's not like you're buying this card for bleeding-edge performance, right?
