Performance Comparison--Extended Dynamic Illumination Of Objects

by

Stalker Clear Sky illuminated with DirectX 10. We performed the first test with maximum graphics quality and full illumination in DirectX 10 mode. The selected test scene is an extreme case where the average value is nearly the minimum value: there are no large peaks upwards.

The Radeon HD 3870 and GeForce 9600 GT don’t even get smooth frame rates at 1280x1024 pixels. The rest of the cards reach their limits at 1920x1200 pixels, with only the GTX 280 and HD 4870 still running above 25 fps. All the cards perform poorly with anti-aliasing activated. The only exception is the GTX 280, which reaches 26.6 fps at 1280x1024 pixels. Anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering can be activated in the graphics menu of the game.

Loving this game, way prefer it to most other FPS games I've played in the past year or two. SOC was rather pretty for it's time, and played OK except for stupid enemies, this one is much more fun.

The RPG elements tied into a decent storyline, with some rather good graphics means I'll probably still be playing this on-and-off next year, much the same way I still play SOC.

I've got Shadows of CHerynobyl (?) together with the HD2900XT of my friend, he didn't want it and its awsome ( some silly enemies ). Can't wait for clear sky to get it :D!
