Prey v1.4
Without antialiasing, the Geforce 6800 GT is able to produce fluid animations on screen at up to at least 1680x1050 pixels, but it does not respond to increased CPU performance. The Geforce 7950 GT copes well with increased resolutions and antialiasing, but also does not respond to improved CPU performance. The 1800 MHz from E2160 is sufficient to produce fluid frame rates with the Geforce 8 and 9; at the 2410 and 2670 MHz CPU clock rates, the new cards are able to provide considerably more 3D speed. Overclocking the Q6600 only has an effect at the 1280x1024 pixel resolution without antialiasing.
