XFX GTX285 Black Edition Review

Testing:

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.

In Bioshock, the card performs similarly to the older GTX280, although it gains distance with resolution. Overclocked, the card pushes past to near 9800GX2 levels at 1280x1024. As the resolution increases the dual GPU cards pull far ahead of the performance delivered by the Black Edition.
