Performance in RPG

Hellgate: London

It’s similar to what we’ve seen in Crysis, Call of Juarez and Lost Planet. The Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT 256MB is very slow and doesn’t accelerate much even at the overclocked frequencies. This graphics card cannot be used to run Hellgate: London at such settings.

Gothic 3

The current version of the game doesn’t support FSAA, so we performed the test with anisotropic filtering only.

The minimum speed of the Sparkle GeForce 8800 GT 256MB and ATI Radeon HD 3850 is low as they have only 256MB of local memory. You cannot play the game comfortably at these cards because the speed may bottom out to 13-16fps.
