Page 3 of 4 In The Labs (continued)F.E.A.ROne of the best games for the PC and a good test for the 8800GTX. 2048 x 1536 with full AA? No problem.   Elder Scrolls OblivionA huge hit on the Xbox 360 with it's advanced graphics and HDR lighting. Running this at full whack on a PC required a couple of cards in SLI mode to achieve acceptable frame rates with everything maxed. Not anymore. The EN8800GTX powers through and even provides playability at 16Q AA at 2048 x 1536 resolutions. Sweet!    No matter how many games we played on the EN8800GTX, the simple story is that current software just doesn't push this card to the limits. Even ridiculous resolutions and loads of anisotropic filtering won't tax this beast. Until next generation direct x10 software comes along, we just don't know how good this hardware really is. The likes of Crysis, one of the first to require direct x10 will be with us in 2007 and the EN8800GTX will get it's first real test to see if it copes with the games it was designed for. If you want to know why direct x10 is such a big thing and why you would want a 8800GTX graphics card to run these games, check out our preview of Crysis and this video clip of a current build in action.
