Asus EN8800GTS (NVIDIA 8800GTS) 320MB Review (Page 5 of 10)

Page 5 - Benchmark: Prey

It seems that regardless of settings, I cannot bring the Quake 4 engine based Prey above ~32FPS. The same results go for the Quake 4 game itself -- but in general, both cards are more than capable of handling the games and instead are bottlenecked by limitations of the game. The Asus EN8800GTS 320MB lead by 1 FPS.

No performance impact can be observed as AA is reduced to 2x and AF to 8x. Again, both cards are more than capable of handing this game -- since cards that are unable will see a FPS drop at this point, such as a 7600GT. (See the same test in our Asus EAX1950PRO review, with a different test system configuration)

With AA and AF disabled in game, there's no performance difference and both cards ended in a tie.
