After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.

GeForce GTX 275 Video Card Review

F.E.A.R. 2
"Don't Fear the Reaper", but FEAR Alma for she is back. FEAR 2 take place a few minutes right after the first one left off after the nuclear explosion. This time the player is a different person on a different team working through the messed up world of a telepathic psycho killer. This is one of the best survival horror type games to ever hit the PC.
Going from the beginning of the game and playing through with the setting all turned up to maximum. Anti-Aliasing was turned up to 4x and Anisotropic was turned up to 16x for a great overall quality gaming experience.
FEAR 2 is one of the newest games in this review, and one of the most visually stunning. Still none of these cards here even squeak from any kind of hurting FEAR 2 tries to lay on them. Looking at the numbers though does show the pure processing power of the GeForce GTX 275 over the older cards. This is until we hit into the 2560 x 1600 resolution. From this resolution the numbers pretty much go flat and stay together.
