S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl

The game doesn’t support FSAA when you enable the dynamic lighting model, but loses much of its visual appeal with the static model. So, we benchmarked the cards in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. using anisotropic filtering only.

The results suggest that you can’t indulge yourself with the dynamic lighting model at maximum graphics quality settings if you’ve got a Radeon X1950 Pro or GeForce 8600 GTS. The Radeon X1900 XT in the only card to ensure a more or less normal gameplay without critical slowdowns.
