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.


In all of the tests and at every resolution, the ASUS 8800GT is able to stay ahead of the 8800GTS 512MB which goes to prove that sometimes brute force clock speeds trump a few extra stream processors.


Unreal Tournament III

With absolutely stunning graphics, this popular online FPS provides great visuals to go hand-in-hand with palm-sweating gameplay.

For these tests we set up a 15 minute Bot Match on the Serenity level and let it play though. All of the results were recorded with FRAPS.


The Unreal Tournament III results look a bit different since it seems like this game is able to take full advantage of the increased number of stream processors in the higher-end cards and so the Asus card is relegated to the back of the field. That being said, the TOP is able to offer a 10% or more frame rate increase over a stock 8800GT.
