UPDATE: 6800GS and X1600XT Review: FEAR RESULTS

It was brought to our attention today over at Beyond3d that renaming FEAR.exe to pretty much anything else results in a performance increase on ATI hardware. (Thanks to PC Format for initially finding the bug). We tested this out and there doesn’t seem to be any IQ loss in FEAR with the renamed EXE. Therefore we’ve re-run the 1280 2aa 8af test.

see the results here
