The big graphics card review: from GTX 465 and HD 5830 to high-end

We left surprise to the last testing page which is two –roughly– fresh game  what you could not find in our previous articles . These are AvP and Bad Company 2. Let’s see!

We survived attack of Aliens, but not every card could do the same. Lot of them fell under 30 fps’, of course we made hard their work at the settings. The available Aliens vs Predator benchmark –which can parameter from config file– made our work hard too. Luckily we found graphic interface and that get much easier our life. HD 5870 CF won this race with our big taken aback which more interesting if we tell you that GTX 480 was better in single-card mode. SLI is not as good as CFX at this time, so HD 5830 CF won easily over GTX 465 SLI and almost caught GTX 470 SLI. If we analyse single-card systems GeForces did not flight, they still be around 30 fps’, but GTX 465 was quicker than MATRIX 5870 Platinum in both resolution.

There is the last game of our marathon test, Bad Company 2 but it has not got built-in measure modul so we used FRAPS. We turn on it at the beginning of first chapter and we waited guys arrived to the bridge with boat and under the bridge we stopped FRAPS and calculted avarage fps.

We have two good news: every card could give playable level and enemies was not far away in each cathegory. That is a fact GeForces had got a little advantage. There was no problem with SLI and CrossFireX neither but they did not scale as we hoped.

We finished measurement, testint and honestly we do not mind it. If we watch graphs we can see GeForces won so we must buy them. But it is not over yet, question is not as easy and we refine that at the following page.
