Highly Anticipated DirectX 9.0 Game 2

Another demo version of a next-generation game prefers graphics cards with rapid geometry and texture engines. In general, the game’s engine is not that demanding at this point and even low-end graphics cards are able to deliver pretty playable performance.

All graphics cards with exception of the RADEON 9600 and RADEON 9200 score above 60fps in 1024x768 resolution.

The GeForce FX 5700 is the winner, while the DeltaChrome S8-series products are only a bit behind. The DeltaChrome S4 Pro is outperformed by more powerful graphics cards by a tiny margin, which is a good sign for S3’s new chip.
