Three-screen benchmarks - Battlefield 3

Review: HEXUS.net/qa7yc | Where2buy: amazon.co.uk

Battlefield 3 is one of the most popular PC games of the last year and features breathtaking visuals and an absorbing multiplayer component.

All cards struggle with three-screen rendering, and remember that the quality settings are the same at both resolutions.

The open-air nature of the benchmark and reliance on the subsystem leads to an interesting per-second graph. Performance hardly ever hits 30fps or, for that matter, 20fps.

It's worth looking at the percentages before passing judgement. The TOXIC produces less than one per cent of frames under 33ms (30fps), so while the graph looks good, no card is able to hit 30fps with any semblance of consistency.
