Starting off with the DX9 Call of Duty: World at War, what we're most interested in, from a numbers point of view, is how the two mid-range 5-series GPUs shape up to the Radeon HD 4870, HD 4890, and GeForce GTS 250 and GTX 260s.

The two new Radeons are slower than older-generation ATI GPUs from the next model up in the range. One would assume that Radeon HD 5770 1,024MB would be faster than HD 4870 512MB, but that's not the case here. An average 60fps at 1,920x1,200 is still damn good for the cheaper HD 5750, though.
