Battlefield Bad Company 2 brings the spectacular Battlefield gameplay to the forefront of next-gen consoles and PC, featuring best-in-class vehicular combat set across a wide range of huge sandbox maps each with a different tactical focus. New vehicles like the All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) and the UH-60 transport helicopter allow for all-new multiplayer tactics in the warzone. Extensive fine-tuning ensures that this will be the most realistic vehicle combat experience to date. Tactical destruction is taken to new heights with the updated DICE Frostbite engine. Players can now take down entire buildings or create their own vantage points by blasting holes through cover, thereby delivering a unique dynamic experience in every match.
We set the resolution to 1080p and disabled AA and AF, but set all image quality options to the highest.
After some fine tuning we were able to get the engine performing well at 1080p with only a few heavy firefights causing the frame rate to drop just below 25 fps. Generally however, this is perfectly playable.
Thats a pretty good product, especially if you need a new gfx and your onboard lan is crap (like mine). I have a HD5770 already and I like it, I only game at weekends and ive found its fine, even with the newer engines on my tv.
Nice product, I like the cooler design, its rather funky looking. HD5770 is a good card, slightly overshadowed by the 460, although with the recent price drops to under 100 quid, its one of the finest value products on the market.
How would I get this into the UK: wouldnt customs be costly?
Finally a good review of this. no one else reviewed it ! Dont know how you guys do it being a Uk site, but kudos!
I want a replacement for my 5450 and I need a good lan card, been waiting for this for ages. just ordered it of newegg as it was 15 bucks less than Dells page which I had my eye on for a month.
thanks!
Yeah I saw Dell are selling this for $205 in the states. 15 bucks less on newegg, which is great.
Didnt powercolor do something similar? im sure its available in UK ?
HD5770 was a great board, its a bit long in the tooth now, although after seeing this one, I can see visiontek are offering something a little different, which is very cool. Like it.
They need to offer the Killer nic on something like a 6950 or 6870,.
I bought one of these for WOW and its transformed my clan games. love it.
Any ideas if they plan to bring this out in any other of their range? I like the idea, but the 5770 wont do what I need.
Great idea, id love to try the Killer NIC myself, but id be downgrading my card. and I dont fancy another slot gone for the dedicated card.
6970 and 6950 please chaps 🙂 Wonder why sapphier or XFX dont do it.
hello kitguru,
question, when if your GTX560 review going to come up? Also could you compare it to the EvGA FTW 460 or OC a GTX460 to those levels.
