Don't believe this guy if that's the reason you're getting this card because it's not true in the least. I have a 7900GT overclocked WAY past the card you're buying and have more pixel pipelnes, and mine won't play as well as that guy is saying. You'll be able to play well in these games, but don't expect highest settings. Especially in FEAR, mine still has trouble doing everything maxed out. So, again, do NOT believe this guy, the card isn't that good, but it's still good for that price.
