Performance Comparison--Extended Dynamic Illumination Of Objects
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.

magicandy Aside from the numerous pages that don't work, was a 24-page analysis of STALKER, a fairly mediocre shooter, really necessary? Is a 24-page analysis of any game necessary? Sigh anything to please devs and grab ad dollars -_-Reply -
haplo602 hmm ... I loled when I saw the graphics error in the water tests. the camo-net disappeared everywhere it obscured water in all modes other than static. but you get a nice looking water effect :-)Reply
I was wondering if I can get this game to run on reasonable terms on a HD4670 or HD3850. Based on the HD3870 results, it looks like it would be playable ... -

Not sure what you're seeing (or not, in this case), but everything is working over here. Any more detail? -
