You can't max out any modern games at an FPS above 20 with a card like that.
You're kidding me right?
I get 50FPS on BF3 maxed at 1440x900
On 10080p I'd say 30 to 40fps
I can run every modern game maxed including The Crysis games with HD textures at higher than average frame rate (40fps plus)
would you say its better then the GTX 480? Because I might upgrade soon.
The GTX 480 is a tad better in performance, but has major overheatinroblems and is less reliable, for a solid good performance card id go with the 6870
