I’ve already covered what GRAW is in the bundle section of the review. The EN7950GT runs Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter like a dream, with the game playing fully smooth up to 1600x1200 resolutions. ASUS made an excellent choice bundling it with this card, as it is a current game, showing off many of the features of the 79xx series.

As a youngster, one of my favorite past-times was to watch movies at the local theater. One of the earliest movies I watched was Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope back in 1977. After five movie sequels including Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, George Lucas has stated that no further movies in the series would be produced. Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy is the latest PC game to feature characters, situations and scenes from the first three movies using Lego blocks. The EN7950GT plays this game with all the effects turned on with no difficulty.

The first game to really get my attention as to the uses of Pixel Shaders was Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. The beautiful Pixel Shaded water really was the best of any game out in 2001 when the game was released for the Xbox and the PC. Late last year Bethsheda Softworks released the sequel to that game, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion using a new graphics engine. Pixel Shader 2.0 and Vertex Shader 2.0 programs were used throughout the game as well as HDR. This game is the most immersive RPG of all time, requiring nearly a hundred hours of gaming to finish everything. The game ran well on the EN7950GT, allowing me to play in HQ mode up to 1280x1024 without issue.
