Rainbow Six : Vegas
The first PC game based on the Unreal Engine 3.0, Rainbow Six : Vegas is still a very resource heavy game. We measure performances in the introductory scene. The HDR mode is activated as it is more or less obligatory as without it banding is very noticeable. Shadows are set to “low” because a higher quality in this domain lowers performance too much in certain areas.
Originally designed for the Xbox 360, this game seems to have a natural affinity for the Radeon HD which has a similar architecture to the game console’s graphic chip. The GeForce 9800 GTX is once again equivalent to the 8800 Ultra without anti-aliasing and behind with this filter.
The game does not support anti-aliasing but Nvidia has implemented it to drivers as it has done with Oblivion. This is contrary to AMD who unfortunately didn’t make this effort.
