The Unreal 3 engine is capped to approximately 62/63 frames per second by default, and so the most useful statistic in this test is the minimum framerate. Our testing was performed at 1680x1050 with 16x anisotropic filtering. Once again all in-game settings are on their highest level which means DirectX10 and in game anti aliasing enabled.
When testing Gears of War we can see the impressive performance lead the Atomic 3870 has over the 2900 XT. The XT may have a higher specification memory bus but the enhanced speeds of the Sapphire card are able to increase performance significantly and the card comes very close to achieving twenty-five frames per second in all areas.
