XFX 9600 GT XXX Alpha Dog Edition 740M 512mb

Call of Duty 4

Call of Duty 4 is a stunning DirectX 9.0c based game that really looks awesome and has a very full featureset. With lots of advanced lighting, smoke and water effects, the game has excellent explosions and is fast and furious, perfect for our test suite.

 

 

COD4 shows that the higher clocked 9600 GT has benefits in all areas of framerate production.

 

 

F.E.A.R.

F.E.A.R. is a game based on the Lithtech Jupiter EX engine. It has volumetric lighting, soft shadows, parallax mapping and particle effects. This is a fairly old game but was a very testing one at the time of release and still looks fantastic, so we’ve kept it in.

 

 

F.E.A.R. tells a similar story with the gameplay being a little smoother in all areas.

 

 

Bioshock

Bioshock is a game based on the Unreal Engine 3. It uses some DirectX10 features such as awesome water and smoke effects. The detail level in the game, combined with a frantic pace makes for an excellent benchmark.

 

 

Bioshock was a nice framerate boost over the standard 9600 GT too and overall again was far more playable on the overclocked XFX.
