Dawn of War 2, Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Hawx 2 Results

Dawn of War 2 has always been a tightly contested affair and it wasn’t until we increased the resolution to 1920 x 1200 that we started to see some differences in performance. Even so, the differences are slight, often a couple of frames at most, which we think would be impossible to tell with the naked eye. Here, we saw the Gigabyte and Galaxy cards racking up almost similar frame rates, while the lower clocked MSI card was some ways off the pace.  

 

Of all the GeForce GTX 560 Ti cards, the Gigabyte was the quickest in Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Overall, it was about 4% faster than the second placed Galaxy card and a whopping 18% faster than a reference card. Another interesting to note is that while the Gigabyte came close to matching the GeForce GTX 570 on previous benchmarks, it was completely outclassed here. 

 

Even on Hawx 2, the Gigabyte card was once again the quickest card of our roundup thanks to its incredible 1GHz core clock speeds. The Galaxy card wasn’t that far off the place, and to add, thanks to their impressive clock speeds, the two cards were more than 10% quicker than a reference card. On the other hand, although the MSI card has pretty conservative clock speeds, it was still a good 5% faster than the reference card.
