BFG GTX 260 OCX MAXCORE (216SP) 896MB Video Card Review

by Michael "SKYMTL" Hoenig | November 17, 2008

Prey

Even though Prey may be a bit older game compared against many of the other ones we are testing, it still provides a workout of even the best graphics cards on the market. This time we have enabled its Graphics Boost feature (Gboost in the charts) and run through a custom timedemo.

Prey is the first game we are testing here and BFG's card is able to show some amazing framerates.

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars

Enemy Territory: Quake wars is the latest iteration of the wildly popular Quake franchise from ID Software. While it was met with luke-warm reviews by both the media and the gaming community, it remains an extremely popular online game. In this test we set up a 15 minute timedemo on the Refinery level while the framerates were recorded in-game.

The trend continues with ET: Quake Wars. Mention has been made on our forums about the GTX 280 being eaten at some resolutions by some of the 216SP cards and the only way we can explain this is that a CPU bottleneck is throwing a wrench into the works at lower resolutions in this game.
