F.E.A.R. Performance - 8600 GT/GTS Follow-up Performance

F.E.A.R. Performance

We use the built-in performance test in F.E.A.R. with all options set to maximum with the exception of soft shadows.

F.E.A.R.

Once again, the 8600 GTS and 8600 GT are nowhere near top performers in their relative price segments. Enabling AA paints an even worse picture, putting performance in line with what we saw under Company of Heroes. F.E.A.R. is a fairly demanding game, but it is nothing new. We could possibly attribute poor performance to the fact that newer games will probably be more compute intensive and this may help our new G84 hardware out. That is, of course, if it weren't for our next test.
