Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is set to maximum detail and a 30-second section is FRAPS'd whilst we run through the trenches, stumbling upon a bunch of enemy soldiers and letting rip.

We now come to the older suite. Time constraints mean that the two best GPUs from each side battle for top honours. The numbers show this to be a title that runs rather well on AMD hardware; the HD 5970 is easily faster than the GTX 580.

 Comparison at 25x16 GTX 480  HD 5870   HD 5970
 Faster/slower (per cent)  +16.7  +23.8  -19.1
