BFG 9800GTX OCX Graphics Card Review
by Michael "SKYMTL" Hoenig     |     April 20, 2008

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.


It seems like a ten percent framerate increase between the OCX and a stock card is the name of the game in most tests and our Prey benchmark bares this out as well. What impressed us the most was the increase we saw at 2560x1600 resolution.


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.


While the BFG 9800GTX OCX is able to use its high clock speeds to good effect at lower resolutions its 256-bit bus seems to hamper it once again at higher resolutions un UT:III. It still maintains a good lead over the vanilla 9800GTX but it can’t beat the 1GB HD3870X2 at 1600x1200 resolution and above.
