XFX Radeon HD 5850 1GB GDDR5 Review

Call of Juarez II: Bound in Blood



CoJ is a bit of an oddity without any in-game AA options but nonetheless, it looks incredible. For this benchmark we used a 10 minute gameplay sequence which included panoramic views of a town and gun battles. FRAPS was used to record the framerates.

1680 x 1050



1920 x 1200



2560 x 1600



When compared to the Call of Duty results, these are much more in line with what we were expecting. It is hard to deny this is an ATI-friendly game but with minimum framerates that nearly equal the average framerates of other cards, the HD 5850 seems to be a pint-sized powerhouse
