ATI Radeon HD 4770 512MB GDDR5 Review

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.

With their latest driver revision, Nvidia promised some performance increases in Fallout 3 and this proves to be their saving grace. Here the HD 4770 narrowly edges out the 9800 GT in most of the tests (with the exception of the 4x/1680 test) and gets beaten by the Nvidia card with 4xAA enabled at 1920 resolution.
