ATI HD 2600 XT 256MB
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 July 1, 2007 - 5:35 pm Yeah, I found that a little too late; I will be updating the video card benchmarks fairly soon, since I'm planning on a nice DX10 round-up. It should be fun (by fun I mean mind-numbing horrible terrible very bad work) but also helpful and enlightening. The mid-range gap is just appalling, though. It's almost as if major companies can't make stream processing cards that cost right to fill in the space. NVIDIA comes close with their 8800GTS 320MB, but it still runs about $275. . . Thanks for the heads up. I'm still getting the hang of video card benches, and I'm always willing to accept pointers. 3 - Posted by

on October 25, 2008 - 2:36 pm I have been recommended the 2600 pro as an upgrade for my Dell Dimension 9150 (3 yrs old, present card X600). The XT looks better. They were recommended because of low power demand and they are pci-e 1 compatible. Is this right and are there better options in the $100-$200 bracket. I'd rather stick with ATI I think.
