The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
The Nvidia GeForce 7 architecture doesn’t permit to use FP16 HDR along with full-screen antialiasing, but without HDR the game loses much of its visual appeal. That’s why we test the cards with anisotropic filtering only.
The average performance of the graphics cards from Gigabyte and Foxconn is identical, but the latter has a somewhat better minimum of speed in two out of three resolutions. But before making any verdict, let’s see the results on the open scenes of Cyrodiil.
Like in many other games, there is no difference between the different versions of the GeForce 7950 GT. So if the model with 256MB of memory has a considerably lower price, it would be wise to purchase it.
It’s almost the same here. We suppose that like in Far Cry ’s HDR mode the performance is limited by the speed of the ROPs and pixel processors. Working at increased frequencies, the Foxconn model shows a higher minimum of speed than the Gigabyte model despite the smaller amount of memory.
