Fallout 3

You know, it’s been a decade since the last Fallout release, and a lot has happened since then. Fallout 3 takes place roughly two-hundred years after a nuclear war devastated the planet. While the series originally started in Southern California, this time around you’ll find yourself in a post-apocalyptic Washington D.C., better known as the Capital Wasteland. You are a resident of Vault 101, one of a series of fallout vaults built to protect its inhabitants from the harsh conditions in the wasteland. As the story goes, in Vault 101, nobody enters – and nobody leaves. Raised as a child in the vault, the game begins with you as a young lad learning to take your first steps and continues as you grow older (this portion of the game is used as both a training mission and to build an affinity with your character). It isn’t until you wake up one day to find the vault in chaos – your father has somehow left and it’s up to you to follow him into the wasteland – where the story really begins.

Fallout 3 is an immersive, graphically stunning title with that awesome movie feel. Easily one of the best games of 2008, a must buy Gurus… a must buy.

Image quality

8x AA
HDR enabled
Detail level: Ultra

Fallout 3 then is one of the bigger titles released in a long time. We measure with no less than 8x AA enabled, a mode that the Radeon card absolutely manages the best. |You can see the lines go slightly flat, which means we are closing into a CPU bottleneck.

So even with 8x AA enabled we see roughly 92 frames per second rendered at 1920×1200. Yeah, that doesn’t suck. BTW would we measure at 4xAA the NVIDIA would dominate. There’s something with ATI and 8xAA in this game that really works out well for them.

Asus EAH5970 2GB GDDR5 Review

Introduction Today marks a 'red'-letter day of sorts for AMD, which looks to reclaim performance leadership in the graphics cards industry with its new flagship ATI Radeon HD 5970 graphics accelerator. Of all the products AMD has been working on over the past year, we bet this product won the most anticipation, since the "next big thing" from [...]

AMD’s Radeon HD 5850 Review

Today the other shoe drops, with AMD launching the 5870’s companion card: the slightly pared down 5850. It’s the same Cypress core that we saw on the 5870 with the same features: DX11, Eyefinity, angle-independent anisotropic filtering, HDMI bitstreaming, and supersample anti-aliasing. The only difference between the two is performance and [...]

AMD’s DX11 GPU, Eyefinity and 6 Display Outputs

Introduction That's six Dell 30" displays, each with an individual resolution of 2560 x 1600. The game is World of Warcraft and the man crouched in front of the setup is Carrell Killebrew, his name may sound familiar. Driving all of this is AMD's next-generation GPU, which will be announced later this month. I didn't leave out any [...]
