What else can I throw at my new 7800 GTX?

play and enjoy games, if you bought a $600 card just to try and make it run slow I would be very mad / jealous.

Riddick doesn't have AA, annoyingly. But it beat the hell out of my 6800GT for some reason that I can't explain.

F.E.A.R is what stressed my card above everything else for some reason, I just had crappy framerate on that beta. BF2 also takes some major resources up, but, i have no issues running it at 1280x1024 with everything maxed but lighting.

You can stress any video card, or video cards will the right settings. 1920x1200 with everything maxed, drivers to quality, AA/AF maxed out, will make a 7800GTX crawl in Farcry, BF2, and others.

Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

At 1600 x 1200, along with A-A and A-F.

It will probably make your 7800 GTX suffer, due to bad optimization. And it's DirectX 8.1.

I'd be curious if you could give it a try and post results.

Stress a new generation GPU under DirectX 8.1. A world's premiere !

I have the perfect stress test. Send me your card and I'll let you know how it goes.
