In Company Of Heroes: Opposing Fronts we see the HIS HD 4850 IceQ4 TurboX fall right between the reference HD 4850 and HD 4870 designs, and matching the Leadtek GeForce 9800 GTX+ in performance. The GTX 260 is simply untouched in this price range, however. Results at 2,560x1,600 are absent as only the GTX 260 produced an acceptable degree of variance between runs. This appears to be down to a frame-buffer limitation with 512MB cards.
