MSI's overclocked Radeon HD 3870 looked good in Company of Heros where as we cranked up the resolutions, its performance advantage rose to about 6% better than the reference card. However, for the more demanding new generation games of Unreal Tournament 3 and Crysis, there was hardly anything going for it. Once again, the GeForce 8800 GT 512MB took the lead in this trio of games as well with a 20% performance advantage in Company of Heroes, but still managed a reasonably good 10% lead in both Unreal and Crysis. Note that we've maxed out the image quality settings for all the games, but looking at the performance figures from Crysis, it looks like you would have to back up notch to get a more fluid gaming experience.
