Just Cause 2

Aliens vs. Predator (2010)

Just Cause 2 and Aliens vs. Predator (2010) produce the same standings.

Lost Planet 2

The GeForce GTX 580 beats the Radeon HD 7950 in Lost Planet 2 when the latter card works at its default clock rates. The Sapphire overtakes the MSI as soon as we overclock it to 925/5500 MHz and comes out the winner of the test, just like elsewhere in this test session, at the highest clock rates.

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty

AMD-based cards are still very slow in this game when you turn on antialiasing whereas Nvidia-based products feel at their ease. Therefore, we can only see some competition in the MSAA-less mode but the GeForce GTX 580 wins anyway. It is only when well-overclocked that the Radeon HD 7950 can beat the GTX 580 together with the HD 7970.

Sid Meier's Civilization V

The Radeons perform normally again. Take note the minimum difference between the Radeon HD 7950 and HD 7970 at the same clock rates.

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. 2

The GeForce GTX 5xx series is traditionally strong in this flight sim whereas the two Radeons have the same standings as in most of the previous tests.
