PNY 8800GTX 768MB XLR8 Overclocked Edition
Testing - Prey
 While not as taxing as some of our DX9 titles, Prey is an important benchmark as it is one of a few OpenGL games out there that can put pressure on a system. It uses a very heavily modified Doom 3 engine with a lot of open spaces and inventive portal-centric level designs, not to mention visceral, moving surfaces and "Spirit Walking" effects. We've recorded our own timedemo that starts by flying an exo-suit through a huge series of tubes, a handful of portals, an aerial battle and finally some emergency sniping on foot. The settings, aside from anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering, are set as high as possible. The current version of the game is 1.3.

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. :)
