Screenshot gallery
October 2007




In this section you can take a look at comparative game screenshots taken with different graphics cards in scenes as identical as possible.

We use the best quality settings available ingame. On weak cards this results in performance of 1-5fps that is naturally unplayable and thus can't be used to reflect the actual graphics quality.

Should you find a mistake or inaccuracy in any gallery, or have ideas or comments regarding this section in general, please email to Danil Gridasov.
