MSI R7850 Power Edition OC Video Card Review

Battlefield 3 is the newest in the Battlefield series made by Dice games and distributed by EA.  The game engine uses some of the latest technologies to make the game look, and feel, as realistic as possible. For our testing we are using FRAPS to monitor the framerate and recorded the first mission of Sword Breaker from the time you exit the troop carrier to the headshot.

Benching Battlefield 3 was really a lot of fun, but it takes a long time to do.  In an attempt to get a good data cross section we ran this test a little longer than the "typical" 120 seconds to even out the framerate differences.  Notice the jump in performance between 25x16 and 19x10?  The resolution was so taxing that the poor ole R6870 Hawk wasn't able to even complete the test.
