Sapphire Radeon HD 5830 1GB Review

Comparative AA Performance (Far Cry 2 & Left 4 Dead 2)


In this section we dumb things down a bit to show you the average framerates a few of these cards achieve with and without AA enabled. This is done to give you an easy and straightforward way to determine how a certain card performs in a game with just a glance.


Far Cry 2




The Far Cry 2 performance looks like a carbon copy of the Dirt 2 graph as the HD 5830 just can't seem to muster the necessary horsepower to lift it far above the HD 5770.


Left 4 Dead 2


Much like Dragon Age 2, the HD 5830 performs extremely well in this game when AA is disabled but when we push thins a bit with the 4xAA setting, things begin to unravel a bit.
