Galaxy GTX 275 Overclocked Review
Call of Juarez
Call of Juarez is one of the earliest DirectX10 games from the Polish developer Techland. It is a First Person Shooter set in the Wild West, loosely based on a number of Western movie hits which were popular in the sixties and early seventies. Call of Juarez uses the Chrome Engine which utilizes modern game programming technologies and techniques such as High Dynamic Range (HDR) rendering, support for all modern per-pixel lighting and rendering techniques including normal mapping, relief mapping, self-shadowing using ambient occlusion, subsurface scattering simulating diffusion and diffraction of rays finding their way through translucent objects; realistic water surfaces based on dynamic liquid system, real time HDR reflections and refraction, fading underwater visibility based on distance.
We used the benchmark tool that is added to the game with the patch 1.1.1.0.
Call of Juarez has been one of the games that has always favored hardware on the red side. And the trend continues with these video cards too. The leading role from the previous benchmark is reversed here, with the HD 4890 getting a pretty convincing win. With a 10 FPS advantage over the GTX 275, the HD 4890 also beats the overclocked GTX 275 by a pretty convincing margin of 6 FPS.
