This game is slowly getting outdated, yet so many of you including yours truly still adore the game. I just love what this game can do in terms of gameplay and image quality. We had to use FRAPS to measure the performance and by use of the game command prompt remove a nasty framerate cap. The results do not lie. Small note: the game by itself does not support these high resolutions, but simply make a little .bat file and insert the following, save this .bat file in the BF game directory and startup at the resolution of your choice:

Now it's not match for the 8800 GT yet at 4xAA and 16xAF here @ 2560x1600 where we still have 110+ FPS framerate at the highest image quality settings with the X2. That's nearly double the performance over the regular 3870.
Gaming: War Front - Turning Point
For those who just cannot get enough of the Second World War, War Front: Turning Point offers enough spin on the traditional model to offer a very satisfying experience. Graphically, the game is great, and is configured to run on a myriad of systems with different specs. Higher-end PCs will be treated to a nice amount of eye candy, including detailed vehicles, great environments and excellent special and explosion effects.

A game that has not been tweaked to death at driver level as it is very uncommon to benchmark; which is really why we include it. We enabled all possible in-game eye-candy and with 4xAA and 16xAF at 2560x1600; we can still play at ~68 FPS.
