It's pretty close in Far Cry 2, with the more-expensive cards showing decent increases from the Radeon HD 4850 and GeForce GTS 250.
Also, the two pre-overclocked Radeon HD 4870's larger frame-buffer - 1GB vs. 512MB - give them a decent advantage over the Sapphire model, equipped with 512MB.

Radeon HD 4870s run a bit faster than the GeForce cards here, but we wouldn't complain at the performance of any card here.
