ASUS EAH6850 DirectCU OC Edition Review

Testing:

Just Cause 2 is a third-person shooter that takes place on the fictional island of Panau in Southeast Asia. In this sequel to 2006's Just Cause, you return as Agent Rico Rodriguez to overthrow an evil dictator and confront your former boss. When you don't feel like following the main story line, you're free to roam the island, pulling off crazy stunts and causing massive destruction in your wake, all beautifully rendered by the Avalanche Engine 2.0. In the end, that's what the game basically boils down to. Crazy stunts and blowing things up. In fact, blowing things up and wreaking havoc is actually necessary to unlock new missions and items.

At stock speeds, the EAH6850 DirectCU is faster than the GTX 465 and HD 5850 in all four resolutions. When all the cards are overclocked, the EAH6850 is still equal to or faster than the HD 5850.
