F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate

Like Battlefield 2142, this game does not support resolutions of 16:10 format. So, we use 1920x1440 (4:3 format) instead of 1920x1200 in this test.

The Leadtek WinFast PX8800 GTS 512MB has a comfortably high frame rate at every resolution and is no worse than the Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX in terms of performance. It is, however, better than the ex-flagship with its smaller size and lower power draw.

Half-Life 2: Episode Two

The second episode of Half-Life 2 doesn’t have anything new to tell us: the GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB from Leadtek is equal to the Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX and even better than it by 2-3fps at high resolutions notwithstanding the less advanced memory subsystem. It’s an excellent result that allows playing the game comfortably with enabled FSAA at 1600x1200 or even 1920x1200, but the average frame rate is lower than 50fps if you use the latter resolution.
