Asus ENGTS 250 Review

Testing:

BioShock:

BioShock is one of the creepier games you can play. The building of a perfect Utopian society undersea gone horribly wrong. Its inhabitants driven mad with the introduction of tonics and genetic modifications. Now Rapture is just a shadow of its former glory with little girls looting the dead of what little they have left while being shadowed by guardians known as "Big Daddys". It is a demanding game that will make your hardware scream for mercy. This First Person Shooter allows for an infinite number of weapons and modifications to provide a unique experience each time it is played. The environment as well as the story line will wrap you up for hours on end.

Settings:

• All settings to maximum
• V-Sync: Off

There seems to be a theme here. The ENGTS performs similiar to the 4850 and 9800GTX+ and is slightly outperformed by the BFG GTS 250. Although in BioShock, the ENGTS 250 did perform at least 10 frames better than the 9800GTX+ in all resolutions. This is a pretty big difference considering they are more or less the same card. The overclock increased frames by about 6 in the lower two resolutions and by 4 in the higher one. The ENGTS 250 offered great performance for this game.
