Performance in Strategy Games

BattleForge

We enable DirectX 11 support for the Radeon HD 5x00 series.

The new cards’ DirectX 11 support brings considerable benefits here. The Radeon HD 5770 is at first equal to the GeForce GTX 275 and then leaves the latter far behind. The narrow memory bus prevents it from beating the Radeon HD 4890, though. By the way, the Radeon HD 5750 also beats Nvidia’s solution at 1920x1200. Alas, both cards, just like the top-end Radeon HD 5870, cannot offer a high bottom speed in this game. Overclocking does not help here although makes the senior model as fast as the Radeon HD 4890 and the junior model as fast as the senior one.

World in Conflict: Soviet Assault

The senior model of the ATI Radeon HD series can only beat the Radeon HD 4770 but is no rival for the GeForce GTX 275 or Radeon HD 4890. That’s normal considering the new cards’ 128-bit memory bus. In fact, their performance is excellent for their price category! Moreover, the overclocked Radeon HD 5770 allows playing comfortably enough at 1280x1024 even though its bottom speed might be higher.
