For our 5760×1080 testing today across three monitors we are going to test with Call Of Duty: Black Ops – a very popular title that has a huge audience. The game is the follow up to the successful Modern WarFare 2.
The game runs on an enhanced World at War engine (which itself was improved from Call of Duty 4‘s) at 60 frames per second on consoles. It features a streaming texture technology (also seen in Modern Warfare 2), making bigger levels possible such as “Payback” where the player controls a helicopter. Lighting effects have been improved as well.
Even at this high resolution, the Asus EAH6850 is capable of maintaining solid frame rates, dropping to around 30 fps in the more intensive areas. Generally the game runs between 45 fps and 55 fps.
I have owned several asus cards and they always have served me well. this looks a solid purchase with a fine price. cant beat £159.99 ! (well you could, £99.99 – talk to them zardon :p).
Very nice indeed. good performance all round. Quick question however, why 3 screen testing, who the hell can afford 3 monitors?
Rather boring looking board, but it performs well. temps are excellent. 65c under load is more like what I want to see.
Been waiting for a good review of this for a while, saw it on OCUk last week, didnt know if it was any good. I agree about the low overclocks. surely its not hard to crank the bios clocks a bit, its basically running at stock and can hit 1000mhz on the core !
Excellent, been waiting for this for a while. I never buy Sapphire or XFX, only Asus. I wait 🙂
Excellent all round card, doesn’t seem that quiet though which is a bit disappointing
Leather case is a weird addition for a gfx?
Poor clock choice for such a card, far too low
price of the 6850 is good, crossfire they are killer, but bot sure it’s worth it as a really fast single card doesn’t need a profile
