S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, is the stand-alone prequel for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, a first-person shooter computer game by Ukrainian developer GSC Game World.[3] The game consists of a roughly 50/50 mix of new areas and old, remodeled areas from the previous game. The X-ray graphics engine has been updated to version 1.5 and includes DirectX 10 support (later patch 1.5.06 included DirectX 10.1). Additionally, the AI received an overhaul to accommodate the new faction wars feature.

In the minimum department we can see that the GTX 295 and the HD 4890 perform quite close to each other. For the most part we can see that the ATI offering is able to come out ahead slightly and that's mainly due to the fact that Clear Sky performs so much better on ATI based graphics cards.
