Bioshock – HD 3870
Bioshock (DirectX 10)
An
impressive FPS-based game with a great story, Bioshock impresses with
both graphics and its ability to drag you along in the gameplay. It
has both DX9 and DX10 render paths and should make a great benchmark
for graphics cards promising the best of both worlds.

And now we start with the benchmarking of the HD 3870 – and the initial results don’t show the card to be a beast in terms of performance. The 3870 is definitely faster than the 3850 but the NV 8800 GT is still the faster card by about 15%. Comparing the performance of the HD 3870 to the HD 2900 XT, the new RV670 chip is the clear winner.
