The chaps over at
Bit-Tech have published an in-depth review of the Graphics and Gameplay of
top new title, F.E.A.R.
Rather than synthetic 'stress test' benchmarks which don't test the CPU and cut
out sound, they've gone into a deeper level of detail, with their real-world
experiences chronicled across a whole range of high-end and mid-range graphics
cards and CPUs. Here's an excerpt:
With last year's mainstream and high-end video cards, we saw that NVIDIA had the slight edge in the game's built in stress test. We didn't test the Radeon X850XT PE, but we expect it to slot in with a frame rate a little higher than the X850XT, equaling or edging the GeForce 6800 Ultra.
The Radeon X800XL's average frame rate was lower than the GeForce 6800 GT's by two frames per second at both 1280x960 and 1024x768. However, the Radeon X800XL's minimum frame rate was two frames per second higher than the 6800 GT's at 1024x768. Interestingly, the GeForce 6600 GT with a 128MB frame buffer edged the Radeon X800GT with twice as much frame buffer and almost double the memory bandwidth.
