As the graphs show, with anti-aliasing disabled, majority of the cards achieved very playable frame rates in excess of 50fps. However, we noticed that even the fastest cards were capped out at around 56-57 fps, leading us to believe that the sheer number of units on screen has bogged the CPU down.

With anti-aliasing enabled, performance takes a big hit as some cards such as the Radeon HD 5670 and GeForce GTS 250 exhibited performance dips as drastic as 40%. But since anti-aliasing isn't supported natively by the game and has to be forced at the driver level, hence it begs the question whether or not it's worthwhile to have anti-aliasing. We'll examine that in the following page.
