Performance in Simulators

Race Driver: GRID

The Radeon HD 4850 is 2-3% ahead of the GeForce GTS 250 throughout this test. Of course, the silent cooler makes the Gigabyte GV-R485MC-1GI preferable for this game.

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.

ATI’s solutions do not profit much by their DirectX 10.1 support. They are inferior to Nvidia’s products here. The Radeon HD 4850 come closer to their rivals at 1920x1200 but the frame rates are too low then for comfortable play. The gameplay is not always smooth even on the GeForce GTX 260 at the highest resolution.
