Just Cause 2

We like this game a lot. Keeping things comparable, NVIDIA-specific features such as the Bokeh filter and GPU water rendering are turned off.

The previous champ, Radeon HD 5970, is summarily dismissed from its top-dog position.

HD 6990 OC at 25x16 HD 6990  HD 5970   GTX 580
Faster/slower (per cent) 3.4  44.6  70.5

Radeon HD 6990 OC is 44 per cent faster than Hemlock, while the lead over NVIDIA's fastest (current) graphics card is some 70 per cent.

But there's not a whole heap of difference in the dual-GPU HD 6990's performance when run in either BIOS-flicked state.
