Pretty much the same story in Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts, run through the punishing DX10 code-path and with all options set to the highest possible.

The BFG MAXCORE OCX is almost as quick as a GeForce GTX 280 here.

Please note that the Radeon HD 4870's results weren't as consistent as the others, over three runs, and exhibited a ~10 per cent variance between highest and lowest runs.
