Results: Battlefield: Bad Company 2
The latest Battlefield game features an optimized DX11 pathway, but essentially provides the same graphics quality as supported by DX10 based cards. A manual runthrough in the second scenario was recorded via FRAPS. Ultra settings, 4X AA, and 16X AF were enabled with HBOA disabled.
We see that same situation as in other games, with the GTX 480 being tops at the lowest resolution while the R6970 takes the lead once the resolution hits 2560×1600.
got the msi nvidia geforce
got the msi nvidia geforce engtx 580 on 1gh+ range… so why wold i buy this one?
dualcore thats too hot when clocking?
Price would be the big
Price would be the big factor. Get nearly the same performance for $100 cheaper.
Hopefully I can get in the N580GTX Lightning in and see how hot that puppy gets with the Twin Frozr III.
Any idea what might happen to
Any idea what might happen to the frame rates if this card was matched with a Sandy Bridge i5-2400 rather than the hex core AMD? I know in some titles it wouldn’t make much of a difference but in titles like Metro 2033, Dawn of War II and Starcraft II it might help the GPU stretch its legs.
You are most likely right…
You are most likely right… which is why you should check out Ryan’s review of the unoverclocked 6970 to see how it performs with a beefier CPU. Add another 4 to 5% to those numbers, and you should get a good idea of how the card will fare with a i7: https://pcper.com/reviews/Graphics-Cards/AMD-Radeon-HD-6970-and-6950-Review-Cayman-Architecture-Revealed
