Performance Testing: 2560 x 1600



Once again performance is extremely good across every GPU without even one displaying averages or even minimums which were below the magical 30 FPS mark. NVIDIA’s cards still beat their ATI competitors but at this resolution, things are actually much closer with the HD 5870 beating a GTX 470 and the HD 5850 right on the other high-end cards’ heels. Unfortunately for ATI, their HD 5830 and lower-end cards just can’t keep up with the pace and fall quite far behind.


4xAA brings about a complete failure of the 768MB card to even function due to its limited framebuffer but to be honest; we were a bit surprised by this result. The other cards meanwhile are able to actually perform quite well even though the GTX 465 and GTX 460 1GB display borderline framerates.
