Benchmark: Battlefield 3

Battlefield 3 is one of the most popular PC games of the year and features breathtaking visuals and an absorbing multiplayer component.

Back to normal in Battlefield 3. PowerColor's card is the quickest of the 7870s, followed by Gigabyte's OC model and XFX's Black Edition. There's very, very little separating the three, and they're all comfortably quicker than AMD's reference board. So much so that they're able to leapfrog a stock-clocked Radeon HD 7950 in this popular first-person shooter.
