Benchmarks: Battleground Bad Visitor 2, Far Weep 2

Battlefield Bad Company 2 was tested using Fraps to record 60 seconds of gameplay from the level "Cold War". The game was tested using the best visual quality settings with 4xAA/16xAF enabled.

The Battleground Bad Visitor 2 results at 1680x1050 saw the GeForce GTS 450 deliver just 36fps at 1680x1050 making it 8% slower than the Radeon HD 5750 and 28% slower than the Radeon HD 5770. Meanwhile the overclocked Palit GTS 450 Sonic Platinum card provided an additional nineteen% functioning over the standard carte though this was not enough to match the Radeon Hd 5770.

Oddly at 1680x1050 information technology appeared that SLI was not working very efficiently either as we merely saw a 47% performance increment when adding a second GeForce board.

Far Cry 2 Benchmarks

For testing Far Weep 2 we used the "Action Scene" from the custom benchmark tool. We feel this is an excellent representation of real gameplay performance. We used the best graphics settings available and 8xAA.

Far Cry 2 is a Nvidia specialty and at 1680x1050 the GeForce GTS 450 hands outperformed the Radeon Hd 5770 and 5750 and even the more expensive 5830 vicious victim here. The overclocked Palit GTS 450 Sonic Platinum graphics card was able to deliver 16% more performance with an boilerplate of 50fps making it but 3fps slower than the Radeon Hd 5850.

This fourth dimension we observe that SLI is scaling very well with an constructive 81% performance boost. This had the GTS 450 SLI couple matching the GeForce GTX 470 and hands beating the GeForce GTX 460 and Radeon Hd 5870 graphics cards.
