Prey
Prey tells the story of Tommy, a Cherokee garage mechanic stuck on a reservation going nowhere. Abducted along with his people to a menacing mother ship orbiting Earth, he sets out to save himself and his girlfriend and eventually his planet.
In Prey, players enter a living spaceship that enslaves alien races and devours humans for lunch. Prey turns the first-person-shooter genre upside-down with new gameplay features like wall-walking and gravity flipping, making for intense single- and multiplayer experiences. Prey is built on a heavily modified version of Doom 3 engine and is developed by Human Head Studios under the direction of 3D Realms.
First off (and I simply wanted to do this pointless results with one game) Trilinear filtering and no AA only results as shown above. You can push up to 2560x1600 actually. Now why did I do this? Look at the results below and try to understand how little of a performance impact 4xAA and 16xAF have. This is all about architectural efficiency.
Above,
what you are looking at are the results at 4xAA and 16xAF with all possible image IQ settings to high in-game. With these settings typically with a previous-gen enthusiast graphics card you'd stick at a resolution up to 1920x1200. And although the G80 GTS is taking a kick in the nuts the GTX promises you the best gaming experience available at 53 FPS.This is one of the game titles we'll also test CSAA with later on in this article.
