NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 Video Card Preview

Fallout 3

For these Fallout 3 benchmarks we decided to use one of the more graphically intensive portions of the game: a gameplay session which starts at the exit from Vault 101, through Springvale, over a small hill towards Washington and then back towards Megaton. Within this session two ants were fought near Springvale. All in all, the gameplay time is about 6 minutes.

ATI is traditionally strong in Fallout 3 and shows this again by keeping up quite well with the GTX 295 and then narrowly passing it on the final high res test. Overall, it looks like at higher resolutions in Fallout 3 the GTX 295 takes a bit bigger hit than its ATI competitor when AA is turned on.
