PNY 8800GTX 768MB XLR8 Overclocked Edition
Testing - F.E.A.R.
 So far as we know there is no way to record a timedemo in FEAR, and playing a game like this with FRAPS tracking the frame rates wouldn't work well because it would be very difficult to do the same thing and get into the same firefights over and over. The results wouldn't be consistent. All hope is not lost, however, because FEAR has a built-in benchmark. You just go to Options > Performance, and then click on Test Settings. All of the in-game Video settings were set to maximum, and then we customize the "advanced video card options." The defaults from setting to "maximum" are left except for FSAA, Texture Filtering, and Resolution, which are adjusted accordingly. Patch 1.08 was used.

on June 26, 2007 - 10:42 pm Here's the comment in its full context for reference: "Taking a look from a few steps back, on the other hand, this card is capable of clocks higher than an 8800 Ultra, and that's something to be proud of. (Ed: Sort of.)" Basically, the 8800 Ultra is a joke of a card, so I was poking fun at it. 3 - Posted by

on June 27, 2007 - 6:25 pm @Kurtis Thanks for the clarification. I didn't know that the 8800 Ultra was crap. Thanks again for explaining. 4 - Posted by

on June 27, 2007 - 8:48 pm The problem with the 8800 Ultra is that the price / performance ratio is just a little absurd. There is no competitor to the Ultra right now from AMD/ATI but I don't think AMD/ATI is losing any sleep over that fact. :)
