Prey, which was released a few months back, is a game that is based on a modified version of the Doom 3 engine. To test performance in this game, we used a retail copy and tested using the tool Hocbench using the demo hwzone. Our chosen testing resolutions were 1600x1200 and 2560x1600 with anti-aliasing at 4x and anisotropic filtering at 16x.

In Prey, going from 1600x1200 to 2560x1600 reduces performance by quite a lot. A single GeForce 8800 GTX turns out to be faster than two GeForce 7900 GTX cards under SLI.

For Call of Duty 2, the GeForce 8800 GTX performs the fastest having a large lead over the GeForce 8800 GTS and all other solutions. For the rolling demo of X3 Reunion, the GeForce 8800 GTX SLI system’s lead is significantly cut down compared to Call of Duty 2. At 1920x1200 pixels, the 8800 GTX SLI is actually slightly slower than the Radeon X1950XTX Crossfire, however, the 8800GTX has better scalability and performs faster at 2560x1600.
