Gigabyte GeForce 8600GT Video Card Review

Testing:

Benchmark: F.E.A.R.

F.E.A.R. is a newer first-person shooter that includes its own benchmarking utility. We will be using this test to benchmark the game. This game introduces a new AI model that emulates real squad behavior. It has the ability to counteract the moves you make rather than having a predictable routine.

The settings we will use are below:

• FSAA: x4
• Anisotropic: x16
• Effects: Max
• Computer: High
• Soft Shadow: Off

F.E.A.R. seems to put a bit more load on the card. Playing at resolutions higher than 1280x 1024 border on unplayable.
