Gaming: 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 the Doom 3 engine and is developed by Human Head Studios under the direction of 3D Realms.

What you are looking at, are the results at 4xAA and 16xAF with all possible image IQ settings to high in-game. Again an example on how close performance is to a GeForce 8800 GTS 640 MB. In the lower resolutions the 320 MB GTS is actually a little faster than the 640 MB GTS, this is due to the fact the 320MB model is a slightly pre-overclocked version.

HD2900 XT wise, this actually is really good performance at 350 EUR.

Earlier on I promised you some CSAA results, here you go. As you can see, I strongly believe there's a bug in-between the narrow and wide-tent modes. AMD needs to focus on this these. None the less, from what we have been able to check, it's really good AA and offer exceptional IQ versus performance. That's really nice.
