VGA performance: Dead Space (DX9)

Dead Space

Sci-fi, horror and gaming, thats a combination that really works Dead Space combines all three of these to form an excellent and exciting game that will keep you enthralled for quite some time. Admittedly, the game can get scary at times. Dead Space is a blistering experience of lashing tentacles infused with a gory gash of a ripper blade. Aside from the string of alien guts and limbs youll be leaving behind you, little finishing touches are what really make this game shine.

One of the more fun titles in 2008 I found to be Dead Space. Some hate it, some love it.

And sure, it's fairly crazy to see the numbers produced here. But 178 FPS at 1920x1200 with 4x AA and all eye candy enabled is truly lovely. Typically this has always been a very pro NVIDIA title, but the HD 5870 certainly holds ground.
