It's an older title, sure, but it's still a good test for GPUs.

Analysis

Radeon HD 5870 does very well against the HD 6970 GPU, surprisingly so, but both are beaten, easily, by the HD 7970. All three high-end GPUs suffer similar performance drops when moving resolutions.

Describing an obvious truth, we'd only be happy playing at 5,760x1,080 on the HD 7970.
