Grand Theft Auto Vice City

GTA4 may not be the most strenuous game for your hardware, but it is a title that even casual gamers love. These figures are the average frame rates of the first cut scene at the start of the game.

Fraps was used for the measurements.

All tests are run in 32bit colour, with the draw distance set to maximum.

Serious Sam the Second Encounter

Serious Sam supports both DirectX and OpenGL, giving a convenient opportunity to compare the cards on real world OpenGL performance. These are the results for the "little trouble" demo. The results were recorded with Fraps. All tests were run with 32bit colour and default detail levels.
