    I would test Oblivion on that card really, It pulls FPS right down because its so demanding. My GTS and others suffer, I wonder if the R600 does - if you can get a copy Gibbo would definately be worth testing.

    Hi there

    We also have a few hundred Splinter Cell Double Agent games here. Any good for benchmarking with?

    You using the 101.70s under Vista? With these I'm getting slightly higher figures than with the 97.72s under XP (Opty 165 @ 2.8Ghz, 8800GTS @ 640/2000)

    Agreed. Alot of it comes down to how well they're designed and coded.

    With tight budgets and deadlines its becomming very common. Some of the biggest games were quite buggy on release - FEAR, Farcry, Halflife2, Dark Messiah to name but a few.

    And lets face it, we're a largely tolerent consumer group - we're going out and buying badly coded games!

    In STALKER's case I think it didn't help that its been flung around differnet development teams and has had parts of its original design cropped.

    It was at the beginning - it used to have problems with stuttering that were solved with a patch after a month or so. I think it was down to some sort of prefetching - a bit like one of the reported probs with Stalker. I've disabled prefetching in Stalker, which means quicker load times, and no crashes so far (on 101.70 in Vista).

    Obviously the fault of PC hardware not being up to the job of running it. ;)

    Its a shame the top end R600's are still an 80nm process when the mid/low range cards will be on a 65nm.

    ArmA at high res with full view distance and all settings to max, 16xAA/AF. I doubt quad SLI would be able to hit 30fps on that.

    That doesnt push a 8800gtx
