would this graphics card cut it?

I was wondering if this card would cut it out for these games:
Battlefield 3
GTA IV w/ iCEnhancer mod
Shogun 2
Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood
Just Cause 2

Thanks in advance.

A 5770 would be enough go play those games in 1080p with medium quality settings (hell, maybe even high, but that's something you'll have to test for each game) and anti-aliasing (not a lot mind you, maybe 2x or 4x; much more than that and you're looking at dropping below the 25-30FPS mark).

Shogun 2 looks to be better optimized for DX11 (or so I'm told, so its partially speculation on my part) but it will certainly handle DX9/DX10 better than my 9800GT (I should think about getting mine a walking stick...).

From memory, Battlefield 3 is supposed to be, and rare is this, a console port, meaning the game will run better than most, if not all, of the many PC-ports on the market.

AC2/B & JC2? They'll run, and with some AA and medium-high settings.


All in all, it'll handle the current generation of games, but it won't handle seriously high settings (y'know, 1600p, 16x AA, 'ultra' settings, and so on). Good luck!

Battlefield 3 - probably with low or low medium settings (with a framerate over 10 you can probably run it on medium to medium high with about 8 frames per second). It may be ported from consoles but the PC version is running DX11 graphics and some of the frost engine effects are seriously taxing on CPU and GPU
GTA IV w/ iCEnhancer mod Yes... on medium to high settings
Shogun 2 Yes.... on medium to medium high
Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood No idea never played that game
Just Cause 2 Yes probably again on high or medium high

The problem with BF3 ... and this is whats funny is that everyone thinks since its ported from console that the graphics requirements will be about as low or a little above what a console graphics are.

This is so untrue its not even funny.
1) consoles dont do DX10 (real DX10 not that fake crap they tricked the system into thinking was DX10) or DX11

2) The reason that DICE and EA have not released a console preview of the BF3 game is because the graphics when compared to the other preview videos are much less magnificent.

PS3 was released in november 2006

The Xbox 360 was released in november 2005

The best graphics card available at this time (2006 for the sake of giving the consoles some benefit of the doubt) was either the 8800 line of nvidia or the x1900 by ATI. they were the first generation Dx10 cards. And I doubt either of them would run BF3 very well on high settings.

I have been predicting for some time that if the graphics are actually the same on console as PC for BF3 you will be seeing a lot of 360s and PS3s frying.

Very much so. Hopefully they won't do what they did with FFXIII and actually remove features for the sake of HD. Console-users are looking at a pretty broken down version of BF3 in comparison to that of a PC user.
