F.E.A.R.
The recently released F.E.A.R
contains some of the most demanding graphics currently
available. Visit most forums and you’ll no
doubt find people thoroughly depressed over how
low they have to set the detail levels to get the
game up and running at a respectable pace with their
hardware. With the cards on test today there shouldn’t
be much of a problem however. For our testing soft
shadows are off.
In the lower 1280x960 test
we see that the Crossfire X1800 system is just managing
to outperform the SLI system. The XTPE also outscores
the single GTX in this test. Those of you considering
a 7800GT SLI system will be pleased to see that
particular configuration holding its own and coming
out with a figure in excess of the high end single
card solutions.
When we move up to 1600x1200
with no AA or AF we see that the result order remains
the same throughout the test. With average FPS of
over 90 this could be an ideal game to apply some
of the X1800XT’s more advanced AA methods.
