Geforce 8800GTX getting 70FPS in FEAR

[Nelsieus]

I know there is another topic for the recent performance preview Anand just put up, but I though this deserved it's own thread since it includes a game we've all been wanting to see tested. The results are pretty impressive, especially considering he's running on an AMD 4000 CPU at stock speed.

Post #156 has the FEAR benchmark (there's also some pics and 3dMark scores on the first few pages).

He also mentions driver instability, but isn't using the official drivers that should be releasing around Geforce 8800 launch.

Is 70 fps good at these settings? I don't go close to these settings.

Quick results -

Fear 1600x1200 all in game setttings maxed out with soft shadows enabled.
FEAR bench one
Min: 41
Avg: 83
Max 197

Note - 100% over 40 FPS.

F.E.A.R.

All possible settings maxed. 4xAA, 16xAF, 1600x1200, everything maximum, soft shadows on.

RE: The FEAR Benchmarks posted a few pages back.

Ok if this is the case with this card....I for one am not too impressed.

This is what I get on my 7950GX2

Just ran the test settings on this game myself.
FEAR Extraction Point.

MIN: 38
AVG: 65
MAX: 177

This is with EVERYTHING MAXIMUM ALL SETTINGS ON and running at 1920x1080 resolution!
4xAA/16AF

I actually just finished playing this and beat it.


Not impressed so far.

Heres a PIC of my Test.


By the way, My tests are done on Extraction Point.

Lets wait and see what someone gets who's running a C2D over 3ghz or so. I believe he's only running a single core 4000+

Keep in mind technically you're comparing a SLI card to that... Technically...

And I do know for a fact that the 7950GX2 does not support HDR+AA (which has been claimed will work on G80 at some point), nor the improved AF or the new AA modes, which have been promised.

regardless of sli or not the 7950gx2 is a cheaper single card consuming as much power.

 

[akshayt]

With the 7950GX2 you probably had Soft Shadows Off, but with the 8800GTX they were on.

However even with Fear Extraction Point, a 1900xtx gets 60-80FPS avg in demo depending upon the area and CPU offcourse at 12x9 MAX 4x AA 16x AF no soft shadows.

 

[Nightmare225]

I'm more interested in Double Agent results, that game is so taxing.

 

[LittleNemoNES]

SO stupid -- can't use soft shadows and AA @ the same time even if you do enable both so it's a kind of misleading

 

[terentenet]

You simply cannot compare 8800GTX with 7950GX2. GX2 is a SLI setup. Performance wise, Quad SLI (2 x 7950 GX2) was crap for me; AFR and SFR don't mix well. So crap that I went back to 7900GTX SLI. I got better scores with the GTX's.
I believe 8800GTX is to be compared with the former GTX, the 7900 GTX. I also believe nVidia might bring a "8850 GX2" to the market when needed, and when it's out, compare that with your 7950 GX2.
If the scores I see are true, FEAR performance is similar to mine right now and that's outstanding considering it's a single card. Also, i hear 16x AA, Angle indepenent AF, DX 10, Quantum physics.
I will get 2 of these cards as soon as they reach the market (even 3 if Triple-SLI is now possible with those 3 PCIe slots) and I will play w/ all maxed out.
That's the new plan. 2 or 3 8800 GTX's, Core 2 Quad QX6700, eVGA 680i mobo and a new Tagan 1100W PSU. That's my next upgrade, will be done by the end of this year, ready for 2007's games.

 

[JAG87]

im with you terentenet
except for the evga mobo... rofl wtf is that :disgust:

why not its a single card. it was compare dto the x1950xtx was it not. it was crowned the fastest single card. and its prolly gonna be cheaper than a 8800gtx or even gts.

I thought it uses the same engine as Chaos Theory? That game runs pretty well especially given how good it looks, although it greatly favors the X19x0 cards over anything else.

 

[akshayt]

16x12 4x 16x AF and 80FPS is not much of a deal, eevn a single 1900xtx should manage around 50fps.

did you have softshadows on? i know you said all settings on, but that one usually gets left out for being way to demanding (and in FEAR it looks rubbish so its not worth the performance tank)

anyway its not bad, your techincally comparing SLI to a single card, and dont forget you also have no DX10 or any of the other cool features NV is bringing with this 8800 series such as the new AF modes and such that the G7x lack.

i think that almost the same speed as a SLI set up from one card is about on track. id be seriously impressed if it was 2x as fast as an 7950 which would mean technically its 4x faster than the last top single GPU nvidia card

i think it just shows that nvidia had a good design with G7x (though at the expense of some IQ)

plus the card isnt technically out yet, so id expect performance to grow further as the driver team gets into their stride, this is a radically different architecture to the G7x so the driver team cant just improve on what they have, theyre gonna have to take a new approach if they want the extract the best performance from G80.

oh and its unified shader approach probably doesnt suit DX9 all that well either


so yeah its ok to be disappointed right now, but give it time, im sure it will blossom

8850 lol! its already got 681million transistors....that card would have to be on 65nm if it is indeed planned

i personally dont think it is

i heard the 8800 has actually been designed with a 512bit memory bus in mind, it hasnt made use of it right now, but i suspect when R600 arrives nvidia will be straight in with a refresh part that uses the full 512bit memory bus

I obtained a copy of the game @ my local Fry's. It uses a LOT more shaders and texturing than Chaos Theory. When I set the resolution to 1280x1024 and enable all the settings, but without AA, The framerate rarely goes above 55.
