Page 4 - Benchmark: FEAR
Benchmark notes: FEAR at 1680x1050 with Soft Shadows enabled can be quite a load on the graphics card. Let's take a look at how our test video cards perform here.
With no AA and Bilinear AF, the PowerColor X1550 results in 6FPS average according to our benchmark results. What a way to begin this!
Once 2xAA and 8xAF is put forth, frame rate dropped by half to 3FPS.
At maximum settings, it dropped to 2 FPS. Although with such settings, the BFG 7600GT OC is unplayable at these settings -- but still performed significant better than the PowerColor X1550 by a very serious margin for approximately $30 more.
