Racedriver: GRID (DirectX 9)

All settings were maxed out to Ultra or High (as applicable) along with 8xMSAA and 16xAF at 1680x1050 for all cards. However using an end user hack to increase the visual levels beyond the maximums I was still able to get higher frame rates than the other two cards with the 4890. That said, the visual benefit was to my eye at least non existent. What can clearly be seen however is the rarely lower than 60 minimum frame rates the 4890 provides.

Batman: Arkham Asylum (DirectX 9)

Batman is a new game to me, but I wanted to show some numbers for this UT3 engine based game. The benchmark is only around 90 seconds long, so the frames from about the 95 second mark onwards are looking at the results. There is little in the way of graphic control within the game so we set things up within the CCC instead, and got the above scores with 4xMSAA, 16xAF at 1680x1050. Again, the 5770 and 4870 are virtually identical in scores, but the 4890 provides a much smoother game play experience when things get tough on screen at these graphic settings.
