Benchmark Results: Metro 2033
Metro 2033 is one of Nvidia's The Way It's Meant To Be Played-sponsored titles, but the Radeon HD 6850 manages to put up a good fight against the GeForce GTX 460 here.
The Radeon HD 6870 manages to beat the Radeon HD 5850, but the GeForce GTX 470 has a good lead until 2560x1600, where all of the cards we've tested plateau at a similar level.

SteelCity1981 Yeah I agree. I don't get AMD's marketing on the 6000 series. One would think that the 6870 would obv performan better then the 5870 at first glance but instead it yelds less performance then the 5870. That just doesn't make any sense from a consumor standpoint.Reply -
TheRockMonsi I like where AMD is going with the 6000 series, not so much with naming, but pretty much everything else about it. Can't wait for the 6900's, those are going to be beasts!!!!!Reply -
Poisoner I think AMD did a great job with these cards. Its just sick at what performance you can get for 200 bucks.Reply -
duk3 Nice benchmark suite!Reply
I am looking forward to the 6900 series and 22nm gpus later on for some real performance improvements. -
takeapieandrun Not exactly powerhouses, but I do believe they will be great for market competition.Reply -
