Features
By published

We’ve seen impressive performance from Nvidia's GeForce GTX 460 when it's matched up with a second card in SLI mode. But how does the entire high-end GeForce GTX 400 line compare to Radeon HD 5000-series cards? We test them all in several popular games.

Benchmark Results: Aliens Vs Predator

Aliens vs Predator performance matches the price curve rather conveniently. There isn’t too much to talk about here, except for a slight minimum frame rate drop for CrossFire cards. But benchmarking experience shows us that this happens at the beginning of the benchmark and the game runs quite well once it’s in the thick of things.
