High-End Solutions Performance

This class includes the following graphics cards with a recommended price of $349 and higher:

ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT 1GB - $549
ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT 512MB - $399
Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX - $599
Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS – $349/$449

Call of Juarez

None of the included graphics cards shows a speed of higher than 28fps, so we can’t say that any of currently available graphics cards can run Call of Juarez DX10 with high graphics quality settings at a really high speed. Note that the Radeon HD 2900 XT can challenge the much more expensive GeForce 8800 GTX.

When the resolution of shadow maps is reduced to 1024x1024 and when the “normal” level of shadow quality is selected, the speed grows up, but not too much. The ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT is still competitive against the Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX but you can’t name the winner because the minimum speed of 16fps and lower is practically useless.
