Performance in Third-Person 3D Shooters

Street Fighter IV

Even with relatively modest overclocking the Radeon HD 4890 speeds up to the level of the GeForce GTX 285. When overclocked more, to about 1GHz of GPU frequency, the card becomes the best single-processor solution of the DirectX 10 generation. You can get higher performance either from dual-chip cards or from the new generation represented by the ATI Radeon HD 5800 series.

Resident Evil 5

As we have repeatedly seen in our tests, ordinary overclocking rarely opens new horizons for gamers. The performance growth is often hard to see with a naked eye. That’s just what we have in Resident Evil 5: at a resolution of 2560x1600 the frame rate grows by about 10fps, so you can hardly feel any difference between an ordinary and an overclocked Radeon HD 4890.
