F.E.A.R. Performance
The X850 XT PE definitely dominates the 7800 GS in F.E.A.R. The only resolutions at which the 7800 GS is playable under F.E.A.R. are below 1600x1200 with no AA. If AA is a necessary enahncement for your gaming pleasure, some of the eye candy can be disabled to boost the frame rate, but a low resolution is still in order.
This game does pack quite a visual punch, but the performance needed to keep pace is quite steep. We test with soft shadows off and all other settings on maximum.

Gotta love those crazy typos that OpenOffice.org doesn't catch for me. Fixed.
