Expectedly, the ASUS and Sapphire cards managed nearly identical frame rates on Unigine's “Heaven” benchmark, while the PowerColor card was slightly slower. Realistically speaking, however, the PowerColor card is only a frame or two slower, which is undetectable by the naked eye. We also noticed that with tessellation enabled, the trio of overclocked Radeon HD 5850 cards could go toe-to-toe against the Radeon HD 5870. However, when running on DirectX 10 with tessellation disabled, the Radeon HD 5870 regained the advantage.
