BFG GeForce GTX 260 896MB Video Card Review

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 the in-game benchmark tool.


The GTX 260 performs extremely well in Unreal Tournament III but for some reason it trails off a bit at 1600x1200 resolution with what seems to be a minor driver issue. Overall, it seems that if UTIII is your game of choice, this may very well be the card for you.

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.


As usual, the Nvidia cards are really able to stretch their legs in Prey with the BFG GTX 260 performing well straight across the spectrum.
