Performance in Third-Person 3D Shooters

Lost Planet: Extreme Condition

Our overclocking helped the Radeon HD 3870 reach the level of the GeForce 8800 GT 512MB in terms of average performance. The minimum speed didn’t grow up, though. The overall performance level is still extremely low, too.

Tomb Raider: Legend

Unfortunately, the overclocked Radeon HD 3870 is even unable to overtake the GeForce 9600 GT. The gap is 5-6% at 1920x1200. The game is quite playable at the highest resolution if you’ve got a Radeon HD 3870 that can work at such extremely high frequencies without overheating, failing, and producing unbearable noise.
