Battlefield: BC2

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is set to maximum detail and a 30-second section is FRAPS'd whilst we run through the trenches, stumbling upon a bunch of enemy soldiers and letting rip.

Benchmarks




ForceWare 257.15 drivers give the GeForce cards a boost at the lower resolutions, enough to ensure that the GeForce GTX 480 is the fastest single-GPU card around.

Direct comparison

Resolution ZOTAC GTX 480 AMP!  ASUS HD 5870 MATRIX Percentage better/worse 
1,680x1,050 85.78/73 
76.82/59
11.7/23.7
1,920x1,200 72.81//60
64.39/53
13/13.2
2,560x1,600 47.9/40
44.2/35
8.3/14.3

The baddest GeForce GTX 480 this side of anywhere has enough grunt to make the game playable at 2,560x1,600, yet it still trails the HD 5970 by a significant margin.
