Pushing Far Cry up to a resolution of 2,048 x 1,536 with 4x FSAA and 8x AF, the Alienware still managed over 78fps, while running Half-Life 2 at the same resolution and settings resulted in a score of 90fps! Even running Day of Defeat: Source with HDR enabled couldn't faze this beast of a system - once again running at 2,048 x 1,536 with 4x FSAA and 8x AF, the Aurora 7500 still crept over the 70fps mark.

I loaded up F.E.A.R. which has a habit of bringing fast PCs to their knees. I instantly cranked the resolution up to 1,600 x 1,200 with 4x FSAA and 8x AF and the gameplay was silky smooth. I played for a while, marvelling at just how fantastic this game looked - the dust and smoke looked particularly superb and added masses of atmosphere to an already atmospheric game. I pushed things up to 2,048 x 1,536 and I finally started to see the Aurora 7500 struggle - with no image quality turned on it still managed 78fps,but once you turned on 4x FSAA that number dropped to mid 30s. That said, if you settle for 2x FSAA and 4x AF F.E.A.R. is still completely playable at 2,048 x 1,536.
