Benchmarks: Street Fighter IV, Resident Evil 5



Street Fighter IV fails to provide the Radeon HD 5970 with much of a challenge, and even at 2560x1600 with 8xAA enabled the average frame rate exceeds 200fps. The Radeon HD 5970 was 60% faster than the Radeon HD 5870 and over two times faster than the GeForce GTX 295.



Testing Resident Evil 5 at 2560x1600 with 8xAA enabled the Radeon HD 5970 rendered 97fps. This made it around 37% faster than the GeForce GTX 295 and 39% faster than the Radeon HD 5870. However, it was just 11% faster than the Radeon HD 4870 X2.
