8x MSAA Testing (BF: BC2 / DiRT 2 / Dragon Age) 8x MSAA Testing (BF: BC2 / DiRT 2 / Dragon Age)In this section we take a number of games we have tested previously in this review and bring things to the next level by pushing the in-game MSAA up to 8x. All other methodologies remain the same. BattleField: Bad Company 2 (DX11) Note that 8x MSAA is enabled via the game’s config file for the NVIDIA cards since it is not a selectable option within the game menu  While the overall performance of NVIDIA’s GTX 480 is only about 10% better than the HD 5870, minimum framerates once again tell an altogether different story with the 480 taking a 30% lead. DIRT 2 (DX11)  DIRT 2 provides an interesting perspective since it has long been considered an ATI-friendly game, but the GTX 480 is able to narrowly eke out a win by 10%. Dragon Age: Origins (DX9)  It looks like we found a chink in the GTX 480’s armour since it can’t even seem to make its way past the HD 5870 in this test. | ||||
