F.E.A.R.





Prey





Having benched these games with each of the contending cards multiple times, I can say that the numbers are irrevocably low yet once again for 8600 GTS. But seeing how tight all of the lower four cards were during benchmarking, the 8600 GTS may not be as terrible as first thought. It's apparent in both F.E.A.R. and Prey that AA/AF configurations have near to no affect on the 8600 GTS' performance. It is possible that the beta drivers we were given has limited the 8600 GTS score variability and that it could sneak above the X1950 Pro with a driver update.
