EVGA e-Geforce 8800 GT KO Series Video Card
Benchmarks: Gaming
We next ran a series of benchmarks within Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, Team Fortress 2, Call of Duty 4 and Crysis, with the Crysis benchmarks being run in both DirectX9 and DirectX10 graphic modes and obtained average frames per second numbers in each game title. The benchmark tests were run in 1680 x 1050 and 1920 x 1080 resolutions on a 37" Westinghouse 37w3 HDTV digital monitor without Anti-Aliasing or Anisotropic filtering and using the direct DVI to monitor plug-in for a pure digital connection. All of these games are first person shooters (FPS) which thoroughly put today's video cards through their paces, pushing the graphics the hardest.
You will notice from the chart below that we listed the games top-down, based upon our results, from the least hardest on the graphics card to the games heaviest on the graphics card.
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars turned out to be the least demanding first person shooter within our benchmark tests on the EVGA 8800 GT KO video card at both resolutions and with the highest settings we could obtain within the game, as did Team Fortress 2 which turned out to be easy on the graphic cards GPU as well. This is where the "easy" dropped off and the medium-to-hard graphics displayed within Call of Duty 4 dropped the FPS results from Enemy Territory: Quake Wars by approximately half. The most graphically demanding game in our tests turned out to be Crysis in both DirectX9 and DirectX10 modes, which resulted in some "hitching" or stuttering in some areas within the Crysis game world. Remember this was without Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering enabled. We found that when we ran Crysis with high AA and AF settings that the game play was choppy and therefore did not want to report on running the game with those settings.
