ASUS Extreme N6600GT Silencer
12. Colin McRae 2005
For all you racing fans out there, this test is for you and will represent the Racing game category in our benchmarks.
From the graphics point of view the first thing you'll notice in the game is the excellent amount detail of your racing car. High resolution textures on the car and lighting make it quite impressive. All the eye candy such as the sun reflection in the virtual camera are still the same as the older CM versions but motion blur has been added when your card hits something hard which will happen most often if you're new to the racing simulation world.
To measure performance on the game we used fraps to get the average fps of the whole 8th stage of UK which is actually the only stage you get to play on the demo.
The only significant difference between the two cards worth mentioning is at the 1280x1024, where the average framerate for the Silencer is 84 compared to 70 for the N6600GT.
By enabling AA and AF, the drop in framerate is by about half, except for 800x600 where the difference is still significant at around 30 frames.
