High-End Graphics Cards

Single-GPU high-end configurations offer comparable performance and hardly allow to play the game with comfortable speed in 1600x1200 resolution, whereas among dual-GPU setups Nvidia’s GeForce 7900 GTX SLI has significantly higher performance compared to the Radeon X1900 XT CrossFire.

ATI’s Radeon X1900 XT CrossFire tandem does not allow to enjoy smooth frame rate in F.E.A.R. Extraction Point with FSAA 4x and anisotropic filtering 16x activated, whereas GeForce 7900 GTX SLI offers nearly 60 fps even in 1600x1200 resolution.

Single-GPU high-end configurations offer similar performance, hence, users looking at them should consider the fact that ATI’s Radeon X1900 XTX has higher-quality anisotropic filtering as well as lower price compared to the GeForce 7900 GTX. Still, without tweaking of graphics settings neither of the single-GPU configurations will provide smooth gameplay.
