STALKER: Call of Pripyat

The third game in the STALKER series continues to build on GSC Game World’s X-Ray Engine by adding DX11 support, tessellation, and more. This also makes it another one of the highly demanding games in our benchmark suite.

With STALKER being another game that normally favors AMD, there’s no surprise here that the GTX 560 comes up short. The GTX 560 underperforms AMD’s latest by 10%-15% depending on the resolution.  The GTX 560’s advantage over the GTX 460 1GB is still a very healthy 33% however, so it certainly looks like we’re seeing the differences in shader architectures in action.

    Page one, first chart, the 560 Ti is "$149" instead of "$249".

    Although, I kinda prefer the former.

    Listed at $149 when you meant to write $249.

    what's crazy is that when I posted and refreshed the page I was the only comment. It wasn't until page 3-4 of this review (as I was reading after the comment post) that I noticed yours was there so there is some lag between when a post is made and when others see it (even though you see it right away). I wish we had a time stamp feature on the post! :)

    So the GTX 560 Ti has a 4004mhz DATE rate? Wow, it sure gets around. (chart on P1) ;-)
