Video card performance during NFS Carbon Demo

At the end of October, the demo version of Need For Speed ​​Carbon was released, which provided a great opportunity for testers to compare the performance of mid- and high-end video cards during a very "machine-eating" car game.

Elite Bastards staff had already done their own little test a few days after the demo came out, which was pretty one-sided in terms of the duel between ATI and NVIDIA, although this huge difference is probably due to the lack of optimization of the driver or game.
