Benchmarking Your GPU with F.E.A.R.

Posted by Zonk on from the putting-the-hurt-on-your-machine dept.

ThinSkin writes "Monolith's new shooter F.E.A.R. is all fun and games, but it can also be used as a benchmark to test your GPU's performance. ExtremeTech's Jason Cross goes into detail on benchmarking your GPU with this graphically-intensive game. In addition, the article also tests the performance of high- and mid-range cards from ATI and Nvidia to see which scores top marks." It's a tough game; I had to buy a new rig.

    Just for kicks, I tried overclocking my rather plain 6800GT card. I saw an almost direct linear relationship between % overclocked and % increase in framerate in F.E.A.R.

    At most I managed to push it from 350 to 410Mhz (no special cooler), which is a 17% increase. The average framerate went from 41 to 48, which is a 17% increase...
