Performance-Mainstream Graphics Cards

Since price-point of the Radeon X1900 XT has been rapidly in the past few months, we decided to include it into the performance-mainstream set of graphics cards.

As we see, only the Radeon X1900 XT can deliver nearly 60 fps in 1280x960, but can hardly provide comfortable F.E.A.R. Extraction Point gaming in 1600x1200 resolution. ATI Radeon X1900 GT offers similar performance to the GeForce 7900 GT, but both are pretty slow with all the effects activated.

Mainstream Graphics Cards

F.E.A.R., even a year after the release, remains a tremendously performance hungry game, which is why no mainstream graphics cards can satisfy its demands with all the effects enabled. Talking about price:performance ratio, we believe it is obvious that ATI’s Radeon X1950 Pro is much better than the rest boards here.
