Performance Sorted By Resolution And Anti-aliasing Setting

In the following charts, we show the frame rates resulting from different resolutions and anti-aliasing settings. This makes the comparison easier when looking for a graphics card to suit a particular screen size or resolution.

Because there are only two benchmark settings, AMD performs worse overall. The DirectX 9 resolutions with anti-aliasing don’t work and this makes up 25% of the whole test. Future drivers will hopefully change this and enable anti-aliasing.

    Page 7 is not available... It gives an error, as if the page doesn't exist.

    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 -_-

    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 :-)

    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?
