Here's another test where the Geforce GTX 480 finishes
just ahead of the Gigabyte GVR587SO-1GD at 1920x1200 in DirectX 10 mode. The sun
shafts tests pushes a lot of shader power, but how will the Geforce videocard
fare in the DX11 version of this test?

When STALKER is flipped into DX11 mode there's a
dramatic change in performance as the higher graphics settings and details take
their toll on the performance of even the fastest videocards. Here at both
tested resolutions the Radeon HD 5870 is the fastest videocard tested, coming
out ahead of the Geforce GTX 480 by about 10%.

The Uniengine Heaven Benchmark vesion
2.0 is designed to test the DirectX 11 capabilities of next-generation
videocards, with an emphasis on tesselation effects. For this benchmark
tesselation is set to 'Extreme', which adds significant amounts of detail to the
rendered geometry.
