NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 Video Card Preview

Dead Space


To benchmark Dead Space, we used a timed 10 minute gameplay session around in Chapter 2: Intensive Care on Hard Difficulty in which we battle a few necromorphs and enter a zero-G environment. Seriously, what good is a benchmark without action sequences? “Walkthroughs” are unacceptable around here… Once again FRAPS was used.


1680 X 1050





2560 X 1600




Nvidia domination is the name of the game with Dead Space but that is expected considering this title’s inclusion in their “Top 5” game titles. Once again the GTX 295 posts some framerates which could only be considered unreal until you remember that these are averages of 4 benchmark runs which means there were instances where even higher averages were achieved.

One issue we did notice was that as the framerate reaches 150; your character becomes a bit harder to control since the mouse movements become less responsive for some reason. This happens with ALL cards.
