We have enabled 4 times Anti Aliasing for this test.

The Sapphire HD5670 trails slightly behind the GTS 250 in this benchmark but the results are better than we expected. The Sapphire card is perfectly capable of powering this game on a mid range monitor and 720p TV with a high level of AA applied.

The HD5670 can handle Resident Evil 5 with AA applied and maintain frame rate above 30fps throughout our section of gameplay – this is an impressive result especially considering the budget pricing.
