Gainward 8800GTS GS
7. Prey
Prey tells the story of Tommy, a Cherokee garage mechanic stuck on a reservation going nowhere. His life changes when an otherworldly crisis forces him to awaken spiritual powers from his long-forgotten birthright. Abducted along with his people to a menacing mothership orbiting Earth, he sets out to save himself and his girlfriend and eventually his planet.
Prey is a serious, dark story, based on authentic Cherokee mythology. Themes of sacrifice, love and responsibility are explored and the story dives into emotional territory not yet explored by similar games. Prey is based on Quake 3 engine and for sure will keep you awake many nights...
We used the latest available patch which updated game engine to v1.2.0. For all tests, we used hocbench which offers all benchmarking options through a GUI. We used the built-in Guru3D timedemo and all results are posted below:
Without enabling AA/AF, the Gainward 8800GTS GS provided superb performance with 120FPS.
Enabling the various AA/AF rendering modes, we saw exactly the same behaviour as with F.E.A.R. The 8800GTS GS seems to have more power to handle 8xAA and even up to 16xQ AA, without suffering as great a performance hit.
