Released in early 2009, Battleforge was one of the first games to offer support for DirectX 11 and is still an exceptionally rigorous challenge for both cards under review here.
Please note that maximum and minimum frame rates are especially misleading in this test since, as the video demonstrates, the FRAPS counter suggests that they occur during the loading screen rather than the actual benchmark.
The 580s truly shone in all three runs, comfortably sustaining an average frame rate in excess of 150 fps and exhibiting virtually no decline in performance as visual quality was increased .
The 5970’s were only able to trade blows without AA and AF, after which they fell dramatically behind, though unlike in Crysis Warhead, the lack of memory per GPU did not prove to be a spoiler and the action remained perfectly smooth. Overall, Nvidia’s winning margin for this test is the largest yet observed, an impressive 44%.
