Benchmark Results: Aliens Vs. Predator (DX11)

by

We see two stories told in Aliens vs. Predator: one without AA, and the other with.

With anti-aliasing turned off, these cards are fairly playable at 1680x1050, less-so at 1920x1200, and too slow to play at 2560x1600—you’d really want to dial down the settings to achieve the highest resolutions in this game. Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 470 and AMD’s Radeon HD 5850 are on-par. The Radeon HD 5830 and GeForce GTX 465 are fairly close too, while the GeForce GTX 460 1 GB is right on the 465’s heels. In general, you give up very little performance stepping down to the 768 MB model versus the 1 GB card.

With AA dialed up, even 1680x1050 becomes a challenge. But it’s still worth observing that the GeForce GTX 460 1 GB is faster than the GeForce GTX 465, along with the Radeon HD 5830, which falls off very fast under the load of anti-aliasing.

Finally, the price wars from the 4000/GTX 200 ages are back!

Tamz_msc :
At last, Nvidia has impressed me(to a certain extent).But where's power consumption in SLI?


Did you even read the whole article?
Page 5 "Sneak Peek at SLI"
"Again, this is just a teaser. We’ll be following up with a full exploration of these cards in SLI, comparing them to a GeForce GTX 480."

Great review as always, Chris.

I have never waited for this... It's not "we", it must be "some people".Note: That is if you consider "me" in that "we".



We, as in Tom's Hardware ;-)

the 5830 i think is a better card, hell you can get a 5770 super-clock it and thats the same speed as a GTX460 for a fraction of the price!

Might have overlooked that line, but I'm wondering how the 460 would perform when overclocked.

Comparing it with your test on the 480 , two GTX 460 1gb s in SLI does seem to outperform a single 480, although very slightly

Very nice SLI scaling IMO...That is one department where Nvidia wins always...
Hope to see ATI improve their scaling performance...And a very good article there Chris...

Took them long enough. Bring on the price wars.

I hope they this will make the price war trickle up to the higher ati and nvidia cars. have had my eye on a 5850, hope the 5830 get real cheap fast and the 5850 to follow down to the $250 price range.

i wonder if they will make a new gtx465 with the a full or near full gf104 core.

actually, i like ati and all, but id take the 460 1 gig version over the 5770 anyday, way more bang for buck

Just checked with Guru3D, these cards easily overclock to 800+ MHz core without voltage tweaks.An absolutely great overclocker!

yeah, same here, i saw this thing get past 850 on default speed stock cooling.
