- F.E.A.R
The story begins as an unidentified paramilitary force infiltrates a multi-billion dollar aerospace compound. The government responds by sending in Special Forces, but loses contact as an eerie signal interrupts radio communications. When the interference subsides moments later, the team has been literally torn apart. As part of a classified strike team created to deal with threats no one else can handle, your mission is simple: Eliminate the intruders at any cost. Determine the origin of the signal. And contain this crisis before it spirals out of control.
For all tests, we used the latest available patch that updates the game engine to v1.08. The game offers 1280x1024 resolution, which was used for all tests. We maxed all details for CPU and VGA card, except Soft Shadows and AA/AF. We used the card's 3D Control panel to enable AA/AF, as indicated in each graph.
Below are the results after using the built-in benchmark test:
The Asus EN8600GTS Top performed well and reached 86FPS average rendering performance without any anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering enabled.
Enabling AA/AF hits on the performance of all cards. Looking at the performance of the Asus EN8600GTS Top, we can see that it doesn't do all that well until 8x AA mode. The Asus EN7900GS proved faster at 2x AA and 4x AA modes.
