World in Conflict




Prey




Results Analysis

Once again the XFX 8800GTS 512MB really flies in Company of Heroes and Prey but falters in games like Lost Planet where the 8800GT gains quite a bit of ground. The 10% performance improvement comes up again versus the GT but at these resolutions we really begin to see the 256-bit memory interface take its toll and because of this the 8800GTX is able to walk all over the 8800GTS 512MB in some tests.

At about this point I’m sure all the GTX owners out there are busy hoisting a cold one to Nvidia since they know their year-old card is still at the top in terms of performance more often than not.
