PowerColor Radeon HD 5870 PCS+ Review

Testing:

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II is a Real Time Strategy game that is significantly different than its predecessor, with improved AI and an improved physics engine. You can play either as a single player in campaign mode, or in a multiplayer game where Microsoft's Live ranking system can be used.

Dawn of War II is always an interesting test. At 1920x1200 the high-end ATI cards seem to plateau as do the mid-range Nvidia/ATI cards. The 5870's match well up until the largest resolution, where the PowerColor graphics card leads by four.
