Oblivion

Oblivion was released a while ago and features one of the best looking game worlds ever seen on the PC. The level of detail available mixed with the exceptional use of HDR lighting is really the type of experience that redefines what you expect from your games.

Rendering a vast array of sprites to display the vegetation in Oblivion can be quite taxing and every extra Mhz can help. While 4 fps may not sound much they are very noticeable when playing this game. Whereas the reference card will often choke during an encounter in the middle of the forest, the Sonic version is more able to maintain a steady framerate. Spell effects also cause a larger drop in performance for the reference board than for the Sonic one.
