XFX GeForce 8800GT 256MB XXX Edition Video Card 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 tested 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 XFX GeForce 8800 GT 256MB XXX edition graphics card was about 44% slower than the XFX GeForce 8800 GT 512MB graphics card. At 1600×1200 with AA disabled and the quality set to normal the XFX GeForce 8800 GT 256MB XXX edition was found to be 56% slower than a 512MB GeForce 8800 GT. The XFX GeForce 8800 GT 256MB Alpha Dog video card looks like it has it’s work cut out for it!
