Our version of F.E.A.R. was patched to 1.08, and we tested at resolutions of 1024x768, 1280x1024, and 1600x1200 with anti-aliasing at 4x with anisotropic filtering set at 16x in one test or soft shadows enabled in the other.

All X1950 cards, regardless of whether they use PCI Express or AGP, have nearly identical performance. It is also interesting to see the performance of the older generation video cards and how it compares to the newer generation AGP cards.

With soft shadows enabled, the HIS X1950PRO tops our chart. For the most part, though, performance mirrors the first F.E.A.R. test on this page with all X1950PRO cards performing very similar to each other. It is also interesting to see how older generation cards, such as the 9800XT, can barely even run the game with soft shadows enabled, even at lower resolutions as 1024x768.
