Performance in Simulators

Need for Speed: Shift

Overclocking helps improve the bottom speed of the Radeon HD 4890 starting from 1920x1200, which may be useful in some situations. There is nothing to worry about at the lower resolutions, but Nvidia’s products are better then. They are as fast as the overclocked Radeon HD 4890.

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.

We use the in-game benchmarking tools that do not allow to measure the bottom frame rate. We also enable DirectX 10.1 support for ATI’s solutions.

H.A.W.X. is incompatible with the Adaptive AA algorithms employed by AMD solutions and slows down as soon as you turn such antialiasing on. We can’t see the effect from overclocking the Radeon HD 4890 here but we don’t think it is going to be bigger than in the other games even if the adaptive antialiasing is turned off.
