Aliens vs. Predator Benchmark – DirectX 11

Settings: 1920x1080, No MSAA, Default Benchmark Settings

This benchmark replays scenes of Aliens running down corridors, up walls, along the ceiling, similar to what's used in the game. It is quite demanding and I have to say I'm surprised the 5770's did as well as they did. I'd certainly be lowering my settings for the game with both cards, but both cards did pretty well.

Colin McRae's DiRT 2 – DirectX 11

Settings 1920x1080, 0xMSAA, 0xAF, Ultra, DX11

Since the game comes free with this version of the HIS HD 5770 Turbo 1GB, you'll want it to perform well in the game. Thankfully, you do get quite playable frame rates in the game (though funnily enough it's the menu system that bog's down more than the actual game!) with the 5770. Here at last, were eeking out every last frame can be quite important to get that average of 30 FPS, the Turbo card has a clear win. It's not so much in the averages as it is in the dips into lower frame rates that concern us here. The Turbo card does tend to keep it's minimum frame rate higher than the standard clocked 5770.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat Benchmark – DirectX 11

Settings: 1920x1080, No MSAA, Extreme Levels, Tessellation On, DX11

Not to sound like a broken record, but while the averages say it's a clear win for the HIS Turbo card, the 5770's do provide very similar experiences in the graph.
