Now for a different style of gaming all together. The multi-award winning Assassin’s Creed is a significant test for us to throw both cards into. It has a unique gaming engine and is a game which like the others, demands raw power to give smooth gameplay. The destinations you are taken to in Assassin’s Creed are truly phenomenal for their rendering. The sceneries and interactions are both breath-taking and stunning.



A reversal of performance altogether now, the results above show us that the HD 4870 provides better performance albeit very small, this is a win for the HD 4870 card. Assassin’s Creed utilises the GDDR5 the ATI card features along with the increased number of streaming processors give it the slight advantage over the GTX 260 card.
