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.

ASUS' EAH5770 CuCore/2DI/1GD5/A videocard doesn't scale particularly well on FEAR, an older title. While it's still more than playable at 100FPS, it can't put all of its shader power to use in this DX9 game.
