Performance in Strategy Games

BattleForge

We enabled DirectX 11 support for Radeon HD 5870. We have also taken a few screenshots from the game for your reference.

High level of detail

Very High level of detail

We couldn’t notice any significant visual differences. Moreover, the difference between High and Very High detail modes is really minor.

The Radeon HD 5870 is third behind the Radeon HD 4870 X2 and GeForce GTX 295 but all of them have a low bottom speed even at 1280x1024. Oddly enough, it is the GeForce GTX 285 that has the best bottom frame rate and ensures the most comfortable gaming experience.

World in Conflict: Soviet Assault

The Radeon HD 5870 falls farther behind the Radeon HD 4870 X2 as the resolution grows up, but ensures a comfortable play up to the resolution of 1920x1200, just like the previous-generation flagships. But the new card does not depend on the software multi-GPU support and consumes much less power.
