S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat Results

The MSI N460GTX Cyclone continued to be faster than the reference 768MB card and kept pace nicely with the 1GB reference card. However, we did notice that it performed quite poorly on the Sunshafts run with anti-aliasing enabled. We are attributing this discrepancy to the new ForceWare 258.96 drivers, and will be paying close attention to this particular run in our future tests of the GeForce GTX 460.

Against the Radeon cards, the MSI card, surprisingly, was able to challenge the Radeon HD 5850, especially on the more intensive Sunshafts run. Clearly, this shows the superiority of the Fermi architecture in handling tessellation-heavy applications.
