Interpretation
As
you can see in the charts above, tuning the antialiasing to its maximum
made almost no difference to the frame rate, and the human eye would
not detect any slowdown. The ATI Radeon HD4850 is already showing
itself to be a high caliber graphics card. Perhaps Call of Duty 4 and
Crysis will be of more value in testing the limits of this card.
