The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

The game loses much of its visual appeal without HDR. Although some gamers argue that point, we think TES IV looks best with enabled FP HDR and test it in this mode.

The Gainward card is in the lead when it comes to playing in closed environments such as homes, dungeons, etc, but the Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX overtakes it in open game scenes. There is no difference between these two cards in terms of performance but the Bliss 8800 GT 512MB GS GLH looks preferable in terms of price. The Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB is a loser in this test, with a minimum speed lower than 25fps in open scenes.
