Upcoming games

can ati 5670 run all upcoming games(hitman absolution, mass effect 3, tomb raider shipwrecked, prototype 2, bioshock infinite) perfectly at 1280X720

upgrade to 6850 OC or GTX 550 Ti OC is good.

If by "perfectly" you mean at the highest settings then the answer would be no. If you don't mind medium settings then you should be OK at that resolution.

It's a best pick this month guys.

"Exceptional 1680x1050 performance in most games, 1920x1200 in most games with lowered detail"

Don't make Don into a liar.

Don just writes what somebody else wrote.

Besides, the OP is talking about upcoming games that Tom's has not tested yet.

a 5670 with 1gb gddr5 can handle games at 1280x720 fine.
as for upcoming games, look for performance analysis articles on those games when they come out.

The HD 5670 should be fine as long as you are not trying to max out graphic settings, otherwise you would need to upgrade. I'm guessing by the time ME 3 is out so will the Radeon HD 7750 for around $125 - $150.

The best thing to do is simply try the games with your current video card, if the performance sux in your opinion, then upgrade.
