Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT Video Card Performance Review

Call of Juarez

Call of Juarez is a Western-themed first-person shooter from the Polish developer Techland. First released for Windows in 2006 as a DirectX 9 title, it was re-released on June 12, 2007 as a DirextX 10 game title. Call of Juarez was one of the first games to utilize Microsoft’s DirectX 10 and it is included in our testing for this reason. We have test Call of Juarez before, but that was version 1.1.1.0 EN. Today, the performance results are from version 1.3.0.1 EN, which is a newer version with performance enhancements.

Benchmark Results:As you can see this benchmark pushes DirectX 10 graphics cards to the breaking point with high quality settings at 1280×1024 with 2xAA enabled. The GeForce 8800 GT shows solid performance numbers and easily beat out the BFG Tech GeForce 8800 GTS OC 640MB video card, but fell short to the Radeon HD 2900 XT.

Benchmark Results: With the resolution increased to 1600×1200 and the quality set to normal the frames per second decrease across the board. The GeForce 8800 GT beat out the Radeon HD 2900 XT at this resolution and moved up a spot in the chart. The XFX GeForce 8800 Ultra XXX Edition took the overall lead with the GeForce 8600 GT pulling in the rear.
